Scarce arced "PAID" and Latest Reported Use

Black G. Carter's Despatch datestamp with curved fancy "PAID" on November 30, 1849 cover discussing payment of goods for church.

According to Roth, it is very scarce to find an example of the handstamp "PAID", in any of its forms, on an envelope or folded letter which did not also bear an adhesive stamp.

Hahn records this as the last use of the "PAID" handstamp in his notes.
