These packages were sent to different post offices in Mariposa County, but used around the USA. This is a very scarce postmark of Grant, a town in Mariposa County which I cannot find out much information. There were many towns with post offices during the Gold Rush. Much of the land was part of the John C Fremont Land Grant. On my eBay 5 USPOD Registered Packages on auction. site you will find this envelope and 4 others sale. Towns besides Grant I am selling is Jerseydale, Indian Gulch, Darrah, and Mt. Bullion. Some of these towns still exist but no longer have post offices.
