50013   image1851–57 Multi-Value Cover from Barrie to London Cover bearing two 3d red on thin, soft, horizontally ribbed paper, together with a horizontal pair of 1852–57 7½d deep yellow-green, tied by “1” numeral and BARRIE, 9 APR 1858 circular datestamp. Carried via New York on Cunard “Persia,” 14 April, arriving Liverpool 24 April, with London arrival marked on front. Of particular philatelic interest: the printer Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson of New York cut the 3d and 6d sheets of 1857 into two single plates of 100, with imprints added in the margins, two at each side. On this cover, the left 3d shows an upside-down imprint at bottom (positions 92/94 & 97/99). The 7½d pair shows positions 118/119 with a re-entered imprint, originally set slightly too high, touching the bottom frame. Franking represents the 20d rate for a double letter, valid 23 March 1854 – 30 June 1859, slightly overpaid by 1d. Other covers from the Brooksband correspondence also show overfranking, as Barrie apparently had no 10d stamps. Notably, this is the most expensive Canadian cover recorded in Lichtenstein, only surpassed by the bisected 3d and 12d covers. Illustrated in Boggs. Provenance: Lichtenstein; Nickle; Kung; Wilkinson.

50014   image1852-57 ½d Deep Rose, First Day Cover, 1 August 1857 Exceptional ½d deep rose on medium wove paper, outer frameline just cut into at left otherwise good to large margins, tied by the bold “21” numeral cancellation of Montreal on a printed circular to Toronto, endorsed “Montreal Brokers Circular” with printed date. Docketing on the reverse confirms 1 August 1857 — the day of issue. A remarkable and historically significant item: the only recorded clear Canadian Pence First Day Cover. Rate: The domestic printed matter rate was originally 1d per 1 oz (Department Order, 17 April 1851), later reduced to ½d (recorded by 1856 in the Canadian Almanac), correctly paying the applicable circular rate. A key exhibition piece and one of the great rarities of Canadian Pence postal history. Provenance: Bertram. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
