For United States stamps, the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts are the accepted authorities. Also, all extension lots must be paid for at the time of invoicing. Any extension lots not conforming to the above will not be accepted as returns in the event of a negative opinion. Requests for expertization

of stamps with certificates dated within the last five years of the sale date will not be granted.

Philadelphia Full Rigged Ship Illustrated Postmark on Cover From China

William Allen at Salem, Mass. andendorsed “pr Globe”, entered the mails with red octagonal “Phila/6/Oct” datestamp andmanuscript “39” rate, plus a mostly clear strike of full rigged ship postmark, very fine; anew discovery, being one of only two “full rigged ship” handstamps applied to acover from China, the other being the example sold by us as lot 1172 in the auction ofthe Floyd Risvold collection on 27-29 January, 2010, which realized an impressive$62,500.00 plus the buyer’s premium.

The Globe was an early American merchant sailing vessel and a predecessor of the Clippers,with an average speed of not over three knots per hour. A “slow boat to China” in otherwords. It is said that the Globe “would beat her head three times against a billow and thenfall off and sail around it.” This cover arrived in Philadelphia after a long and tedious jour-ney of almost six months and was carried on the same trip as the Risvold example.

6 � #1, 5c Brown, right sheet-margin single, with ample to huge margins all around, exceptjust touching at the top left corner, small piece of foreign matter adheres to the rightframe line, tied by red circular grid to folded letter dateline at Eastport, Maine on 10October, 1848 and with ms. “Steam boat mail” directive, entered the mails to Alfred,Maine with red “Boston/13 Oct/10cts” datestamp, apparently applied in error and withred “Steam” handstamp applied on arrival in Maine, very fine and unusual usage.

An accompanying letter by Creighton Hart explains the usage: “The 5c cover with STEAMis an interesting cover. It kind of puzzles me why the letter would be datelined Eastport, Meand have a Boston postmark. Three days elapsed between the writing at Eastport on Oct. 10thand the Boston postmark of Oct. 13th. My guess is that the writer carried it to Boston andmailed it upon arrival, perhaps thinking it could get faster carriage from Boston to Alfred,Me than from Eastport. Anyway, the STEAM is rarely seen on east coast ‘47 covers. TheSTEAM shows the letter was carried by a non-contract coastal steamer from Boston to Alfred.The ship captain collected 2c for doing so. The STEAM postal marking is frequently seen onletters carried on the Hudson River. You have an unusual cover here. (photo) Est. 750-1,000

THE SIDNEY W. EMERY COLLECTION OF H.B. SHAW CORRESPONDENCE COVERS

On 27 September, 1972 the United States post office issued a commemo-rative stamp honoring the centenary of the mail order business, originated byMontgomery Ward. However, seven years prior to that date, in 1865, H.B. Shawwas already in the mail order business, advertising her products in hundreds ofrurall newspapers nation-wide. Besides the usual patent medicines offered at thetime Shaw’s products included British oleaon (Persian plum oil), a hair tonic,Liquid Lightning, a cleaner and stain remover claiming to instantly removegrease, tar, paint, varnish, etc. from almost any kind of fabric, Brazilian MagicLustre, a product claiming to contain diamonds from Brazilian mines, but actu-ally just a cake of brick dust. Unsuspecting souls who ordered a fool proof flyswatter received two blocks of wood, the bargain $1.00 sewing machine turnedout to be a needle, thread and thimble.

What was virtually unknown at the time was that H.B. Shaw was actually awoman. The covers came in addressed to “H.B. Shaw” or “Mr. H.B. Shaw” andsometimes “H.B. Shaw, Esquire”, but never “Mrs.” Harriet Shaw was a pioneerin the mail order business, operating from 1865 to 1881. Had it been known to

her customers that she was not a man it is highly unlikely that she would have been ableto remain in business for very long. Eventually, though, she was sued for mail fraud anddespite never being convicted she gave up the business. She resided her entire life in thehouse she inherited from her father at 15 South Street in Alfred, Maine, passing away in1933 at the tender age of 91.
