VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE PROVISIONAL USE OF THE VANCOUVER'S ISLAND CUSTOM HOUSE SEAL BY POSTMASTER TO INDICATE PREPAYMENT ON A WELLS, FARGO & COMPANY ENTIRE TO THE UNITED STATES.

The customs seal was used by Vancouver's Island postmaster A. C. Anderson to indicate payment of 2-1/2p local postage from July 1858 to June 1859. This is a last-month use of the provisional marking. A similar example from the same correspondence was offered in our Hall sale (Sale 830, lot 875).
