183, 206 on September 29 1883 beautiful illustrated advertising cover from Philadelphia, PA to Millville, NJ (with receiver on reverse). Wonderful ad for looking glasses (mirrors), picture frames, mouldings, oil paintings, engravings, chromos, etc. The 2 cent was replaced just two days later by the new design. The reverse of the cover shows that the cover has been very slightly reduced in size, but it remains a colorful and beautiful item!
