    1862/64: 6 d. lilac pl. 3, the remarkable usage of four examples in a single and strip of three lettered EA-EC, used on 1863 cover to Paris (La Chambre correspondence), with additional 1 d. star for the Late Fee, neatly tied by London '12' obliterators in black. Oval 'PD' in red and Calais transit cds (Feb 8) at left and reverse with London and Paris cds's. A most unusual cover carried at six times rate: The Karl Louis  Card Index Register records just one cover with a larger franking of the 1862 6d. Rare and most appealing cover.
