VERY FINE. A WONDERFUL COVER IN A REMARKABLE STATE OF PRESERVATION, WITH 12-CENT AND 30-CENT 1861 STAMPS PAYING THE 42-CENT RATE TO THE PHILIPPINES BY BRITISH MAIL VIA MARSEILLES.
George H. Peirce came to the Philippines from New England as a 19-year old clerk in the firm of Peele, Hubbell & Company. By 1862 he was responsible for buying one-third of all the abaca exported from the Philippines. In 1868 he became a partner in the firm. The Peirce correspondence began to leak out into the marketplace in the 1980's, and in 1994 the auction sale of 29 Peirce covers, under the name "The Manila Find," was held by H. R. Harmer of New York. Over half have their stamps either reattached by hinges or missing. (Image)
