US#113 tied by Blue Carrier Cancel

Front: There is not too much to be said about this cover and stamp. The stamp is near perfect with exceptional centering. The only complaint might be that the top perfs are a bit shy.
Reverse: Pencil note ""Carrier postmark - probably used in Philadelphia, very scarce & very fine in every respect" and "B+13292".
Notes: This is the defining 2¢ drop mail cover. The color and centering of the stamp are excellent. It is tied to a bright clean cover by a blue carrier CDS and pale blue killer cancel. This is a wonderful example of the drop cover city delivery for which the 2¢ stamp was intended.
Condition: Extremely Fine Cover with a  wonderful cancel and stamp.
Contents: Envelope only no contents.
