Item Details

Description

Rufus King PSA NM-MT 8 FF & Endorsed Cover

A postal cover free franked and endorsed by Rufus King (1814-1876), future Union Army Brigadier General, as "Rufus King." King has inscribed the cover in full as: "Military / Free. Rufus King / Adj. Genl. / Brig. Genl: Isaac I Platt / Comdg. 2d Brig. Cavalry / Clinton Hollow / Dutchess Co: / N.Y." Encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified and graded NM-MT 8. Postmarked from Albany, New York on September 7, [n.y.], although a former collector has pencil-inscribed "1842" under King's free frank. Letter-opened and bearing the remnants of a red wax seal verso. Expected wear including scattered foxing, else near fine. The cover measures 5" x 3." The slab measures 7.125" x 4.25."

Rufus King was the namesake and paternal grandson of Constitution Signer Rufus King (1755-1827). The younger Rufus King served as the Adjutant General of the New York State Militia from 1839-1843. During the Civil War, King commanded a division in the Army of the Potomac but was invalided because of epileptic seizures. He later served in military governance and garrison duty roles. King served as U.S. Minister to the Papal States from 1864-1867.

Historical records confirm that Isaac I. Platt (1802-1866), a lifelong resident of Dutchess County, New York, led the 2nd Brigade of Cavalry in the New York State Militia in the 1840s.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
