9 c Image5c Walnut Brown (1a). Huge margins to full, wonderful intense color and impression in a deep dark shade identified on accompanying certificate as "Ridgway Walnut Brown", tied by multiple strikes (we counted ten) of "Alexandria Va. Sep. 10" circular datestamp, additional clear strike at right, on 1848 folded letter to New York, stamp lifted and hinged back in place to allow for more accurate determination of the shade and condition

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE WALNUT BROWN SHADE OF THE 1847 ISSUE ON COVER. THIS IS ONE OF THE SCARCEST SHADES OF THE 1847 ISSUE, AND VERY FEW ARE KNOWN ON COVER. THE COMBINATION OF AN UNUSUAL SHADE AND THESE DISTINCTIVE CANCELS FORM A MEMORABLE COVER.

According to an article by Calvet M. Hahn in the May-June 1986 Collector's Club Philatelist (p. 209), this shade comes from the First Printing. It appears to be a more intense variation of the Dark Brown shade, and he notes it is "quite distinctive." The article mentions this cover, a pair off cover (ex Grunin, also used from Alexandria), one on cover from Hartford Conn. and one on cover from Philadelphia to England.

10   Image5c Dark Brown (1a). Large margins all around, deep rich color and proof-like impression nicely complemented by blue "2" in circle handstamp of Philadelphia, beautifully struck at center so that the curve of the "2" outlines Franklin's face

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN THE DARK BROWN SHADE, WITH A BLUE NUMERAL CANCEL WHICH IS PERFECTLY PLACED.

According to an article by Dr. Vernon R. Morris, Jr. in Chronicle 200, the "2" handstamp was used in Philadelphia to indicate payment in cash of "to the mails" carrier service for a destination outside the old city limits (pre-1854 consolidation). We have offered a cover in the past bearing a pair of the 5c 1847 Issue with the stamps tied by the same cancel and with a 10c integral-rate circular datestamp.
