AN EXCEPTIONAL STRIKE OF THE CROOK'S EXPRESS SCOTTS RIVER OVAL.

A.D. Crook ran an express service from Yreka to the mines along the Scott and Klamath Rivers. We can not explain why this cover was not dropped into the mails until reaching Flemington N.J., but was mostly likely sent in a bundle or carried privately to Flemington.

Realized: $600
