VERY FINE. A REMARKABLE THREE-COLOR FRANKING ON A PATRIOTIC COVER TO ITALY FROM THE FAMOUS ANGELL CORRESPONDENCE. PREPAID FOR THE 28-CENT RATE TO ITALY VIA BREMEN-HAMBURG MAILS AND ONE-CENT CARRIER FEE TO THE MAILS IN BOSTON.
The franking pays the 28c rate via Bremen-Hamburg Mails, plus 1c for the carrier fee still in effect prior to July 1, 1863. The cover was carried on the North German Lloyd Line’s New York which arrived in Bremen on May 24.

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT LILAC 1863 ISSUE. SCARCE IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.
Although the 24c 1861-66 Issue exists in large quantities of used stamps and a fair quantity of off-center original-gum examples, all of the shades are rare in higher grades with original gum. This superb example is remarkable not only for its centering and gum, but there are no traces of toning that often plague original-gum examples.
