Own a Historic Advertising Cover from America's Oldest Continuously Published Magazine
Now you can own a piece of history from the late 1800s – an advertising cover mailed by Scientific American magazine. This publication wrote about everything from the invention of the incandescent lightbulb and telephone to the first automobiles and beyond. This cover was likely sent to encourage as many people as possible to subscribe to the magazine.
Advertising covers are extremely popular with collectors and can be highly sought after. They are nostalgic pieces of a bygone era you won't find in your mailbox today. This particular cover features two cancellations on the front from New York City, with the date reading September 8. The back of the cover features a third cancellation reading September 10, 7 AM, also from New York City.
The stamp on this cover is the 1873 2¢ Jackson stamp (#157) printed by the Continental Bank Note Company. The stamp can be distinguished from others of the same design by a secret mark. This mark joins the scroll lines above "U.S." with a small diagonal line. However, the secret mark isn't always visible and, in that case, the stamps must be distinguished by color.
