Georgetown, D.C, Cover:
Mailed during 1873 (date provided by docketing at left), this cover was franked with a 3-cent Washington large Bank Note issue. The stamp has been cancelled by a duplex, the killer of which is a square or a blob. I also noticed that there were three, cleanly-cut holes in a triangular formation, on the samp's surface. Although impressed fairly deeply into the stamp, the "holes" don't break through to the inside of the envelope,
Patent cancel?
