Blood & Co., 1c Black on bronze (15L13), margins to cut in at bottom, uncancelled, but with "Blood's Despatch Jan 15 2 P.M. 1856" small d.s. (confirming proper usage of the local), very fine, ex-Fay, a gorgeous cover with a scarce U.S. Local-1851 Issue combination usage, a very rare cover, worthy of the very finest collection photo
