329 Broadway, NYC (Extinct): Lovely 1893 1 Cent Cover mid-century pitcher 4" diameter base

4" diameter base

and one little chip carved flourish along the top

but a pretty great one I think

or also signify sainthood once the doing is done

A bit of toning around the edges of the paper

329 Broadway, NYC (Extinct): Lovely 1893 1 Cent Cover mid-century pitcher 4" diameter baseI spent a number of years working on Broadway in downtown New York just a handful of blocks from where 329 once was an address I've learned that no longer exists (just 325, then 341.) This envelope appealed for making me imagine that stretch of lower Broadway in 1893, as well as just for the beauty of the boldly inked cursive, perfectly punctuated with pale blue 1 cent indicia and diagonally striped cancellation over top. A nice little piece of NYC
