US 1882 SCARCE Scott #163 15c Banknote on Cover to South Africa 9C013
EXTREMELY SCARCE US Cover 15c Scott #163 on Cover dated 1882, to Durban – Port Natal, South Africa by neat cork cancel with matching “Boston, Paid, Oct 11″ cds. A wonderful example of this scarce 15c banknote and a fantastic addition to any serious 19th Century Cover Collection. I have actively collected stamps and related philatelic materials since 1977. I fondly remember going with my uncle in the 1970s to the Rexall Drugstore where the Postmaster would show me many current and older issues in the little Post Office (the “Stamp Cage”) adjacent to the pharmacy counter while my uncle talked with his friend the pharmacist. I cherish those memories. I have added a fine selection of many stamps, covers and philatelic materials to my store.
