1879: Stampless return parcel envelope from the Guatemala parcel
administration, sent to New York, USA, struck with red cds “CORREOS
DE GUATEMALA PAQUETES 28 MAR”, with ornate printed stationery
emblem “ADMON GRAL de CORREOS GUATEMALA”, with arrival postage due
cds in black “NEW YORK DUE 20 CTS APR 6”. Interestingly, addressed
to “Mr J. W. Scott, 146 Fulton St., New York”, which is ‘the’ John
Walter Scott, of Scott catalogue fame. The address is where Scott
moved his stamp and coin shop in 1877. The envelope would have been
pasted onto a larger envelope that accompanied an undelivered
parcel, the Guatemala parcel authorities returning it to the
sender. Envelope is slightly reduced to right, with dried glue to
reverse. Fine condition for the type of usage and journey. Note:
John Walter Scott is described as the “Father of American
Philately”. Scott is believed to have moved into the Fulton Street
address in 1877 and remained there until May 1882, when he
relocated to Broadway.
