VERY FINE STRIKE OF THIS RARE COFFEE HOUSE FORWARDER'S OVAL HANDSTAMP ON A TRANSATLANTIC COVER FROM NEW YORK TO FRANCE.

According to Wikipedia, "The Tontine Coffee House was a New York City coffee house established in early 1793. Situated on the north-west corner of Wall Street and Water Street, it was built by a group of stockbrokers to serve as a meeting place for trade and correspondence. It was organized as a tontine, a type of investment plan, and funded by the sale of 203 shares of £200 each. In its prime, the Tontine was among New York City's busiest centers for the buying and selling of stocks and other wares, for business dealings and discussion, and for political transaction."
