Losnr. : 481 USA
1869: 10 c. yellowish orange, a used example on 1870 cover to Paris tied in black by rare fancy segmented oval handstamp, a superb strike, with San Francisco despatch cds alongside (Aug 12), via New York with transit cds in red (Aug 20). Carried on Inman Line Steamer "City of Brussels" with poor London transit cds on reverse in red and struck there with "GB / 40c." accountancy mark applied in black. An over-payment of the double 2 x 4 c. US rate. Charged at French triple rate with '15' décimes due marking in black on arrival (Aug 31). Slight imperfections to reverse with top flap missing but a rare usage of this short-lived fancy cancellation. Signed Stanley Ashbrook with explanation (1956).rnrnProvenance: Collections Krug, Baker.Ausruf : 1.200 CHFZuschlag : nicht verkauft
