"MAIL ROUTE" (Philadelphia). Clear strike of straightline handstamp and manuscript "10" rate on folded 1828 cover to Philadelphia (docketed in Charleston, 1828), sender's notation "Langdon Chevy", Very Fine, an extremely scarce and interesting ship mail marking, "Mail Route" was applied for a brief period from 1827 to 1830 on private ship letters which were not classified as "ship letters" through the use of the "impliedly under contract" ruling of the Post Office Department (this discriminatory practice was abandoned in 1830), the Philadelphia "Mail Route" handstamp is scarcer than the arc types used at New York City or Providence R.I. (see ASCC p. 88)
