1857 Registered Stampless Folded Letter with the New Earliest Recorded 4-Ring #26, mailed registered from Owens Sound C.W on APR.24.1857 to Toronto, originally rated "3" handstamp, obliterated with a proof-like strike of the scarce 4-ring #26 cancel, then re-rated "6" handstamp. Back shows Guelph (APR.25) and Toronto (APR.27) datestamps. 4-ring numeral obliterators are known used from as early as MR.3.1857 (Hamilton) so this is a pretty early date, but more importantly, it is earlier than the current earliest recorded date for Owens Sound of JUL.31.1862 by a whopping 5 years, and the only example on cover in the Pence era. A lovely and important cover. (Image)
