cover 3c Brownish Carmine (11), clear to huge margins showing bit of next stamp at bottom, except just barely in at top, fantastic deep rich color and a clear prooflike impression, tied by bold "Steam 5" straight line h.s. (indicating 2c ship fee to be collected in cash) on 1852 gray folded letter (headed New Orleans) to St. Louis, light soiling along horizontal cover file fold, otherwise very fine, a great example of this marking photo
