A spiritualism newspaper, sent through the mail...



Item # 701302

October 16, 1886

BANNER OF LIGHT, Boston, Oct. 16, 1886  A curious newspaper that notes in the masthead that it is: "An Exponent Of The Spiritual Philosophy Of the Nineteenth Century". Many of the articles are related to spiritualism.
But of more interest is this issue was sent through the postal system, with the blue, Franklin one-cent stamp at the upper left, with the handwritten address and the cancellation from Vermont. It is rare that we find issues with such evidence of being mailed.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, some wear at the folds and margins, generally good.

Item from last month's catalog - #364 - released for March, 2026.
