VERY FINE AND FRESH. ONLY FOUR OF THE SIX PRIEST'S 121L6 COVERS RECORDED BY ROTH ARE 3-CENT 1851 COMBINATIONS.

The Roth census lists six 121L6 covers, including four in combination with the 3c 1851.

Ex Gibson (who acquired it from Elliott Perry in 1950). A nearly identical cover realized $4,000 hammer in our Golden sale.
