1848-59 1d Orange-Vermilion earliest impression, pos.8, just cut into to fine margins, tied to large piece by barred circular "3" with "SOUILLAC  / MY 1852" boxed ds (pre-dating SG's stated period of use, 1853-54) with ms "16", "INLAND" hs adjacent, underpaying the inland rate with ms "Short paid 4d", a very attractive piece, cert. Brandon (1996) A major rarity as it is the EARLIEST KNOWN USE OF THE 1d, with no covers existing bearing the 1d earliest impression and only one other dated piece in existence recorded by Kanai at the time of his 1981 book, so may well be unique today.
