    Newfoundland  1871/75: 80 c. carmine, five examples used on 1873 quadruple weight cover to the Postmaster at St. John's, Newfoundland endorsed 'per Allan Steamer 'Nova Scotian' from Liverpool', all tied by Paris Star-1 obliterators with 'Paris-Place de la Bourse' despatch cds at right and framed 'PD' in black. London transit (Dec 1) and reverse with 'St. John's - Newfoundland' arrival (Dec 10). Reverse with opening tears but an attractive and scarce quadruple rate cover to a most unusual destination. Cert. Boule (1999).rnrnNote: According to 'North Atlantic Mail Sailings', this cover did not travel on the 'Nova Scotian'. However it is unclear which steamer was actually employed to carry this letter on it's quick (ten day) Transatlantic crossing.
