image 1855 3d Beaver Imperforate on Cross Border Cover, mailed from Millbank U.C on DEC.11.1855 (manuscript date) to Philadelphia / New York via Hamilton (partial transit on back). The cover is franked with a 3d red Beaver imperforate on thin oily paper (faults), tied by a target cancel. The cover has a red "CANADA / PAID 10 Cts" in red italics which was cancelled-out by the same target cancel, but a different handstamp "CANADA 10 Cts" was applied in black at Hamilton.
