1010 CVR 4 imageTwo 3d Red Beaver Imperforates on 1858 Cross-Border Cover, mailed from Fenwick UC on SEP.24.1858 (the only recorded example of this Welland county postmark) to Gowanda NY, through Port Robinson (faint SEP.25 transit on back). The cover is franked with two 3d red Beaver imperforates, each cancelled by three neat pen strokes, paying the proper 6d cross-border rate. Both stamps have large margins at right showing the adjoining stamp, and one also shows part of the imprint. They are not tied to the cover, but belong, as there are no other rate markings. A pencil note on back reads "ribbed paper", tears on backflap, else fine.

1011 CVR 7 image10d Blue Jacques Cartier Imperforate on 1856 Cover to England, a blue cover mailed Hamilton on OCT.13.1856 (U.C double broken circle), endorsed "Paid For British Steamer" to Glenfield, England, with OCT.27 Liverpool transit tombstone transit in red and OCT.28 Leicester transit on back. The cover is franked with a four margin (close but clear at bottom) 10d blue Jacques Cartier imperforate on thin paper, tied by a rare Hamilton segmented cork cancel, which is a new earliest recorded date for this by one month, as it was previously recorded from 1856-11-24 to 1857-01-21. Hamilton stopped using its 7-ring obliterator in June 1856 and were using this cork in the short period until they received their 4-ring #16 obliterator in March 1857. This appears to possibly be the earliest use of a segmented cancel, likely made of cork in Canada. Very fine and desirable. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)
