Envelope or Cover. Condición: Very good. This handbill advertisement measures approximately 8" x 10 and is printed on light blue paper. Its accompanying mailing envelope is addressed "To the Heirs of Mrs. Ruth Bullard." The envelope is franked with a straddle copy of a one-cent blue Franklin stamp (Scott #24) that a previous owner has identified as coming from plate position 100L8. The stamp is tied to the cover with and indistinct circular postmark. Both advertisement and envelope are in nice shape. The advertisement has mailing folds and is loosely mounted to thin cardstock; the adhesive is likely water soluble and the handbill could probably be removed with minimal if any damage.

Niles, was a former employee of the federal General Land Service, the agency that managed these bounties.…
