1859 (Oct 15) Entire from Corfu to Zante bearing Ionian Islands ½d orange (three margins, touched at left) and 1d blue (four margins) cancelled and tied by three strikes of oval framed "FRANCA", a "CORFU" c.d.s on the front. Three "John F. Seybold, Syracuse, N.Y" cachets on reverse and a light vertical fold, otherwise fine and an extremely rare cover with good provenance. Very few covers are known with both the ½d and 1d in combination, or indeed with these stamps tied by a cancel, and both stamps tied to a cover is exceptional. Ex Seybold (1910), Rothschild (1948), Burrus (1962) and Mondolfo (1963), with R. Simmermacher Certificate (2011). Photo on Inside Front Cover. (Image1)
