1255 c Image5c Orange Brown, Ty. II (30). Two, vivid Orange Brown shade of the 1861 printing, tied by red grid cancels, matching "New York Br. Pkt. Sep. 3" (1861) circular datestamp on folded invoice for pipe staves to Cadiz, Spain, one stamp also tied by bold strike of blue "12 Rs."

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A CIVIL WAR PERIOD USE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT ORANGE BROWN TYPE II STAMPS ON COVER TO SPAIN.

The 5c Orange Brown was in use for only a short time before it was demonetized. The new 1861 Issue was released in mid-August 1861. The 1861 5c Buff is known used from August 17 and the 10c 1861 is known used from August 20, several weeks prior to this letter's mailing date. A review using Power Search found only two other uses of this issue to Spain. One is a single franking with 4 reales due, and the other bears two singles with 8 reales due.

With 1984 P.F. certificate (Image)

1256 c Image12c Green (117). Two singles, used with two 2c Brown (113), all stamps cancelled or tied by 5-Point Star fancy cancel on blue folded invoice to Cadiz, Spain, Dutton & Townsend blue oval datestamp indicates New York City origin on May 3, 1870, red "24" cent credit handstamp and "PD" in circle, red London Paid transit datestamp (May 16), Cadiz receiving datestamp, sender's ship designation "Nebraska" and carried on that Guion Line steamer from New York on May 4, arriving Queenstown May 15, stamps with some slight perf toning, left 2c with small corner crease

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE 1869 PICTORIAL FRANKING FOR THE 28-CENT BRITISH MAIL RATE TO SPAIN VIA FRANCE, WITH EACH STAMP BEARING A FANCY CANCEL -- FROM THE FAMOUS GOMEZ CORRESPONDENCE.

Effective January 1870 the rate to Spain via British Mail for a letter weighing 7.5-15 grams was 28c, with 24c credited to Great Britain. The components of the single 16c rate were the U.S. 4c British Open Mail rate and a 12c credit to Great Britain -- the latter advanced in 7.5 gram weight steps, so the 4c rate on this 7.5-15 gram letter remained the same, but 24c was required as a credit. This cover shows the 24c credit and, in turn, the "4" pence British double-rate credit to Spain. Only four 12c 1869 covers to Spain are recorded in the 1869 PRA census, and only one is a franking with pairs of the 12c and 2c. This is a new addition and is not in the 1869 PRA census. (Image)
