Be sure to check the $2.50 inland to see if it is a silk paper, that is the correct shade and time period. |

I don't think it is. Thicker paper, but I have not had a chance to scan the back. I may have missed a thread. |

I got most of these last October, southpaw. The recent bump inspired me to look for more to post. Not much in the way of bullseyes since then. |

Nice imprint - I assume the Penn Station is railway? We truly live in an amazing time for research. I see Boonton Iron Works even has a Wikipedia entry: The Boonton Iron Works were founded about 1770 by Samuel Ogden who, with others in his family, purchased a 6-acre (24,000 m2) tract along the Rockaway River, near Boonton, New Jersey, United States. Here rolling and slitting mills were erected that engaged in the manufacture of nail rods and bar iron. With the construction of the Morris Canal in 1830, the New Jersey Iron Company was organized. This company built a new plant costing $283,000 and imported skilled mechanics from England. Under Fuller & Lord (1852–1876) the enterprise tended to become an integrated industry with ore and timber reserves, canal boats, furnaces, mills and auxiliary plants. After 1881, the business slowly declined. The plant closed in 1911.  |

The Ponds Extract came from Frank Bachenheimer and was very inexpensive. Must be a fairly common cancel. |

It is, although it's a nice one. And of course the 10 cent foreign exchange ultramarine is clearly trimmed. That deVissor cancel is around as well. |

Bart, while I got you here, I have never seen an R87c, my favorite first issue, in a shade lighter than this. Picked this out Saturday. The scanner actually saturates the color a bit. All my 87s are blue-to-navy. I showed it to several dealers and they didn't think it was faded or altered. Can you give me your opinion?  |
