EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE USE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE ON A COVER TO CANADA MARKED FOR THE 3-PENCE FERRIAGE RATE.

The 3-pence rate was charged on mail to Kingston, because there was no need to assess Canadian postage. The 3 pence paid the ferriage fee for the short trip from Cape Vincent N.Y. to Kingston in Canada. Very few are known.
