3c Dull Red, Ty. III (Scott 26). Tied by large “Paid” grid cancel, red “Boston Mass. Jun. 3” double-circle datestamp on multicolored Etna Laboratory, Holden, Cutter & Co. of Boston, fireworks advertising cover to Fryburg Me., with additional colorful illustration of balloon at right, red “Agents for Sanderson, formerly of Sanderson & Lanergan’s Safety Superior Fireworks” printed on top of design, with small enclosure with Holden & Cutter advertisement, stamp with tiny tear at lower left and bottom right corner affected from placement at edge of cover VERY FINE. A PHENOMENAL MULTICOLORED ADVERTISING COVER FOR FIREWORKS, COMBINING THE PATRIOTIC THEME OF JULY 4, 1776, AND A HOT AIR BALLOON. THIS DESIGN IS REPORTEDLY UNIQUE. Text on the cover notes “Pyrotechnist to the city of Boston, 1850, 1852, 1854, 1855, 1856, 1858, 1859”.
