    1884 (Feb): Great Britain 1870 ½ d. rose-red pl. 15 used with 1880 1 d. venetian red in a horizontal strip of eight (JA-JH) and a single and strip of four (JI-JL) on reverse on 1884 cover from Jacmel to Paris, all cancelled by seven strikes of the "C59" obliterator in black. London transit cds (March 1) in red on reverse and 'Calais à Paris' cds on front of the following day. The cover sensibly opened for display with one 1 d. with faults, nevertheless a most unusual (and unique) make-up of the single rate.rnProvenance: Collection Louise Boyd Dale & Alfred Lichtenstein, Harmers, New York, 17-18 Feb 1969, lot 309; Collection Grant Glassco, RL, London, 25-27 Nov 1969, lot 872; Collection G.C.
