 Brooklyn City Post, Brooklyn
N.Y. Remarkably bold "Brooklyn City Post" oval handstamp with "Paid" on
small embossed Valentine cover addressed in magenta print to Miss Burnham,
81 Butler St., BrooklynEXTREMELY FINE. ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS VALENTINE LOCAL POST IS RECORDED. Only this cover and one other with the oval marking (no "Paid"), ex Malcolm and Jarrett, provide evidence of the Brooklyn City Post. It was probably a small Valentine post that operated only one season. No relationship has been established between this Brooklyn City Post and the other major Brooklyn posts run by Boyd, Jones, Walton, Kidder, Snedeker and Rogers. With 1984 P.F. certificate. (Image) |
