Nice Classic Coins! I'd like to find the 98-99L3 pair or any one of those plate 3 multi frame line pairs. |

I don't know much about the history of Messenkopes but that it was a Local Post Office in Union Square NYC. Scott specialized Catalogue lists it as a Local Stamp 106L1. Scott notes: Established by Charles Messenkope in 1849 and sold to Joseph Dunham in 1850. Not sure mine is authentic. https://siegelauctions.com/lot_grd....ubmit=Search |

Thanks, Moyock13. Here are two pairs from the "Three Rows," 69-70L3 (top) and 79-80L3 (bottom). Sort of a reconstructed block of four. Each pair has one extra line at left and a missing line at right on the left stamp; and a missing line at left on the right stamp.  |

Messenkope's - Stampcrow, your Messenkope's local is genuine. Here are some forgeries of the stamp  Here is my Messenkope's cover (sorry wrong stamp for this thread)  |

I guess I can contribute this local post with a 3 cent imperf. The local is a Swart's stamp (136L9) and indicates that Swart's carried the letter to the post office  |

This is an old scan. Again, wish it was still a full cover and I'm not sure it's authentic.   |
