Scott #U18a [1853 10c pale green, on buff diagonally laid paper, Washington] Used VF entire. Sent from "CRESCENT CITY, Cal." with neat and fully readable circular date stamp cancellation, to a P. G. Weaver Esq of Tyrone, Stueben County, New York. A very nice early statehood period cover in good quality for this type of cross-country (or via Panama) use -- either way not an easy trip! (Scott 2020 $190 for typical use.)

Scott #U273 [1884 2 cent brown on white paper Washington (round O in TWO) envelope] Used with VF appearance on front. Backside with aging. From JAMAICA, NY, May 2, to NYC, with 1884 receiver. Very scarce envelope entire. (Scott 2015 $190 for entire.) The May 2, 1884, date is a month earlier than the "June 1884" date noted in stock. This may be an earliest known use? The die characteristics do match exactly with all features of Scott #U273 (image type U65) .
