The Harvey Mirsky Collection of the United States 1847 Issue continued...

Canadian and B.N.A. Mails, Cape Vincent-Kingston Ferriage Rate
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2465 c Image5c Red Brown (1). Two singles, margins to just in, overlapping and tied by red circular grid cancels, matching "New York 10cts. Jan. 26" integral-rate circular datestamp and "Paid" arc on 1850 folded letter to Kingston, Canada West, neat manuscript "3" pence ferriage rate applied in Canada (Cape Vincent N.Y. to Kingston), receiving backstamp

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 5-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, especially with the 5c 1847 Issue stamps. This cover and lot 2463 were the subjects of an article in Chronicle 211, which discusses how the other cover took five days longer and cost the recipient 8-1/2 pence more than if it had been routed by the Cape Vincent-Kingston ferry.
