EXTREMELY FINE. A REMARKABLE 1851 ISSUE COVER WITH THE STAMP TIED BY THE GREEN ISLAND 3-CENT FANCY CANCELLATION, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE STRAIGHTLINE TOWN MARKING.
Illustrated and discussed in 1851 Sesquicentennial book (pages 269 and 283), where Frank Mandel notes that this marking is not known to him as a stampless rate marking. Therefore, it is apparently a distinctive and rare "Trime" fancy cancellation of the 1851 Issue era.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A PERFECT COVER IN EVERY RESPECT -- QUALITY OF STAMP, CLARITY OF MARKING AND OVERALL PRISTINE CONDITION.
Ex Newbury and "European Connoisseur." As a measure of this cover's desirability, in our 1961 sale of the Newbury collection (Sale 244, lot 209) it realized $400, selling to the European Connoisseur, and in the sale of his collection (Sale 1115, lot 2091), it fetched $6,750 hammer after fiercely competitive bidding.
