5c Red Brown, 10c Black (1, 2). 5c huge margins to full, trace of frameline of adjoining stamp at top, used with 10c vertical pair and single, the pair with large margins to slightly in at bottom, the single has four large margins, sharp impression, tied by vivid orange-red grid cancels on piece of cover

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A SPECTACULAR COMBINATION USE OF 1847 ISSUE STAMPS, INCLUDING A SCARCE VERTICAL PAIR OF THE 10-CENT.

Although there is nothing to help us reach a definite conclusion, we believe it is possible this combination of stamps paid the 34c Retaliatory Rate on a transatlantic cover (1c overpayment).
