Readers Help WantedFigure 18 shows a cover sent via New York
to the Chicago exchange office which was
carried on the Etna and left Liverpool on 29
June 1864. It picked up mail at Queenstown
on the 30th and arrived in New York on 8
August. Nine examples with this circular
'21 CENTS' mark are known used between
6 June 1864 and 16 March 1865. All are on
covers and were sent via Allan or Inman
line ships from England. The mark is not
recorded in the English or Scottish proof
books. The author would really like to hear
via the Editor of GSM from any reader who
has a cover with this mark in their collection
in the hope of identifying where it was used.
