Lot 189

1852-93, balance of the Blodgett Family Correspondence. 30 different covers, all from the same correspondence to the same family, with a wide variety of frankings over a more than 40 year period, including #11, 11A, 24, 26, 65, 73, 114, 157, 183, 184, 208, 219, 220 and 231. 12 are advertising covers, with ad corner cards or illustrations, including banking, champagne, commission merchants, jewelers, nurseries, insurance and printing (best is probably Indiana Mineral Springs with an all-over ad on the reverse). 15 have been a bit roughly opened at right, others are generally Fine to Very Fine. A useful lot for the postal history specialist with some better items (the #73 cover alone catalogs $120).
