Item description

Original 1907 New York County Sheriff’s Office postal cover featuring an attractive printed “Sheriff’s Office, County of New York” corner design. The cover is postmarked New York, January 16, 1907 and retains its original 2¢ Washington postage stamp, tied to the envelope by a bold machine cancellation. A receiving/postal marking is also present on the reverse. Addressed in period handwriting to Milton A. Fowler, Esq., Poughkeepsie, New York. This is a nice early 20th-century piece of New York postal history and government ephemera, with strong crossover appeal to collectors of sheriff/law-enforcement material, county government documents, vintage envelopes, and U.S. postal history. Condition shows age-related wear including edge and corner wear, creases, small tears, toning, and opening damage at the top/right edge. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition. Sold as an original 1907 cover with stamp and postal markings intact.
