A rare envelope from the 1860s, the only one ever sent to Vermont via the fabled Pony Express, is going up for auction this month
Bids will start at $2,500, but it’s anyone’s guess how high the price might go. Or who sent the letter, which is long gone. The Pony Express was only in operation from April 3, 1860, to Oct. 26, 1861. It was “by far the most effective way to communicate cross-country,” operating horse and rider relay teams, according to the US Postal Service. H.R.
The station, citing the Colchester Historical Society, said Lyons “served in the 13th Vermont Regiment, Company D during the Civil War, incorporated a local butter and cheese factory, and later became postmaster.” The unknown sender spent $1, equivalent to about $35 today, to send the letter, the station reported. It’s one of the last letters carried by the Pony Express, Epting said.
