SERON, M.D. Illustrated primarily for specialists in the early U.S. classics, an 1851 3¢ Type I imperforate Scott's # 11, is shown tied to a folded notice of a note default from a notary public in Hartford , Conn. Th e letter is dated "Nov 2" (1855). When the clerk in the notary's office cut the stamp from its imperforate sheet, he very neatly and accura tely cut off the top pan el, "U.S.POSTAGE", but left the same panel from the adjoining bottom stamp int act. So now we show # 11, with two panels at the bottom, and none at topl

L Cover from Hartford in 1855 with 3¢ 1851 oddity. The folded note is addressed to Middletown, Conn. The stamp is cancelled by a fuzzy "HARTFORD,C T." town mark. On one of the flaps of the note is an endorsement of the amount and date; there are no other markings. The stamp defies my ability to plate its position or identify the plat ing. Both panels at the bottom are completely intact, clearly defining it as Type I. Comments are invited by the author at 3553 N. Orchard St., Fresno, Cal. 93726.
