VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A VERY RARE USE OF THE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE TO PAY QUINTUPLE 6-CENT RATE TO BENJAMIN DISRAELI IN ENGLAND.

This cover was carried on the Guion Nevada, and the 30c stamp paid 5-times the 6c rate. Only one full cover to England is recorded, but that was used in 1882, well outside of the contemporary period of use.
