3c Rose (Scott 65). Deep rich color, tied by perfect strike of Mortar & Pestle fancy cancel (Type 3, Rohloff O-7), matching “Waterbury Con. Oct. 10, 1867” double-circle datestamp on cover to New York, trivial cover tear at top right and stamp with single minor perf crease EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB STRIKE OF THE RARE MORTAR & PESTLE FANCY CANCELLATION OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT. THIS IS THE FINEST STRIKE WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. The Waterbury postmaster, John W. Hill, carved three different Mortar & Pestle cancellations. The Rohloff Types 1 and 3 were carved in 1867 and used with the large double-circle datestamp. They are much rarer than the Type 2 Mortar & Pestle that was carved in 1869 and used with the 1868 Grilled and 1869 Pictorial Issues. We know of two other covers with this Type 3 Mortar & Pestle: one is illustrated in Rohloff (p. 181) and the other was in the Houser sale (lot 84). The strike on this cover is superior to those other two examples. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2011, Sale 1010, Lot 36 |
