The Steven Walske Collection of United States-France Transatlantic Mail continued...

Bank Note Issues, cont. continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
627 c Image30c Gray Black (165). Used with 3c Green, 6c Dull Pink and three 5c Blue (158, 159, 179), tied by cork cancels, red "New York Paid Sup. Dec. 16" Type E Supplementary Mail circular datestamp on 1875 cover to Montpellier, France, small boxed "PD" handstamp, carried on HAPAG steamer Frisia, arriving Plymouth Dec. 26, transit and receiving backstamps, cover with some small tears and small piece missing underneath stamps which are unaffected save for a small corner perf crease on the 30c and a pulled perf on right 5c

VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING FOUR-COLOR COMBINATION OF 1873-75 BANK NOTE ISSUES FOR A TRIPLE-RATE SUPPLEMENTARY MAIL COVER TO FRANCE.

The new U.S.-France treaty effective Aug. 1, 1874 set the reciprocal prepaid rate at 9c per 15 grams. This franking paid triple the 9c treaty rate plus an equivalent 27c for Supplementary Mail, allowing it to be processed in New York after the regular mails had closed.

628° c Image90c Rose Carmine (166). Bright shade, used with pair of 10c Brown (166), tied by "N.Y. Supplementary Mail Feb. 1 Paid" Type F duplex datestamp and oval grid cancel on large blue 1879 cover to Paris, France, red Calais arrival datestamp (Feb. 13), 90c stamp small edge tears at lower right, left 10c stamp surface scuff, some minor cover edgewear and tiny bleaching spots

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 90-CENT 1873 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE ON A SUPPLEMENTARY MAIL COVER TO FRANCE.

The $1.10 franking on this cover paid 11-times the 5c UPU rate (55c), doubled for Supplementary Mail, which allowed it to be processed in New York after the regular mails had closed. Of the small number of on-cover uses of the 90c 1873 Continental, this is among the most attractive and easiest to display -- as it is not a wide courthouse cover.
