1846 Flint Creek NY 3pg ltr - Freeman & Polly Powers to Nathan, Battle Creek MI

Description: Free Domestic Shipping. This is an original folded "stampless" letter with a small-town New York State postal marking--a "manuscript" cancel, because the town was so small that the postmaster did not find it profitable to purchase a hand-stamp device at his own expense.The letter IS present. You are purchasing BOTH the letter and the postal markings. The letter has not been separated--it's still here, and pictured. ONE of the reasons it is collectible is because of the fact that the local postmaster applied postal markings considered appropriate for the letter's journey--namely: The originating town name and a rate. In addition to being collectible because the addressee or the town from which it was sent, it is a collectable item of "postal history" because of the rates, markings usage, the addressee or something that might appeal to the collector.ANOTHER is the writer, the content and the addressee.1846 "Flint Creek N.Y. 25 April 46" on a 3+ page letter that is actually two letters, the first being William Degraff to Freeman Powers and the second being Freeman & Polly Powers to the addressee, Nathan Powers in Battle Creek, MI.Much good content, local news including "dead drunk," comings and goings to a relative that has gone west.
