U.S.A. (1864) Farmer* with flag* and plow. Patriotic cover with misregistered illustration. The picture was intended to be printed in two colors (blue and orange) but one color is shifted to the left by about 10 mm, resulting in a double impression! Two copies of US Scott No 73 tied by target, Washington cancels. (Used Civil War patriotic covers are considered to be historic documents and are usually accepted in international thematic exhibits). A rare usage, and unusual to find errors on patriotic covers!"
AVAILABLE AT $275
U.S.A. (1874) Hoe. Interesting postal stationery envelope (N) with advertisement for some type of mechanical hoe, it reads: "The teeth of this machine drop in outward curves. It can be run much closer than any other, fairly hoeing any properly planted crop, and 10 acres a day, Then the ad just ends. Looks like only part of the entire ad was printed on the envelope. Perhaps there was supposed to be a picture also. Interesting!""
