 Clark & Co., New York N.Y., 1c
Red on Yellow (48L1). Large margins to clear at upper left, tied on
piece by part strike of blue "Brady & Co. City Despatch Post, 97 Duane
St." oval handstamp, Fine, Abner S. Brady bought out Clark & Co. in
July or August 1857 and issued his own identical letter-box stamps,
however, here we have the old Clark & Co. stamps accepted by Brady and
cancelled with his unique oval marking -- to the best of our knowledge,
this is the first time the Brady cancel on a Clark stamp has been noticed
