seems as good a topic as any
Based on Jan Kosniowski- Stamp Domain, Catalogue of Postal Stationary Newspaer Wrapper (thank you Gavin!!!) - this is 1879 Die 1 and number 013 based on the authors numbering. Postmark supports the Die 1 (79) and the ribbon tying the hair lacks th edetail of Die 3. If you're wondering why the background not being the typical black or white- a black background caise sthe fiber of the paper to pick up too much of the main (dark carmine) color, while white tends to make it look washed out (see my threasd elsewhere on scanner issues)
haven't yet determined where post office branch 110 is relative to a location ending in LEY, but I'm looking into that
anyone else who has these, please share!!
