Envelope mailed from Toronto to Kentucky, USA, franked with single 6p slate grey on medium wove paper, imperforate, clear to large margins all around, fresh and lightly tied by centrally struck diamond-shape grid (9-bar) cancellation from Toronto, with large circular dispatch datestamp without year date at left, small PAID handstamp in red tying the stamp. According to Fred Jarrett handbook the grid cancel was introduced in December of 1857, therefore we can make assumption that this cover was mailed sometime between late 1857 to early 1859 when imperforate stamps were replaced by the First perforated issues. A clean and attractive cover, VF Photo (386K) |
