Lot 14 G401 — Edna St. Vincent Millay — 7-10-81

This stamp, which featured an oval portrait of Edna and a waterwheel in the hand painted cachet, has the day of issue cancel from Austerlitz, New York. I then took the covers to Mill River, Massachusetts for a super bold cancel with killer bars. This is the first time this early Collins has appeared in one of my sales. A nice opportunity to secure it.
