Lot Description

10c Black (2). Full to large margins, beautiful shade and impression, tied by red circular grid cancel, matching "New-York Dec. 1" circular datestamp on blue 1849 folded letter to Kingston, Canada West, neat manuscript "3" pence ferriage rate applied in Canada (Cape Vincent N.Y. to Kingston), receiving backstamp

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.
