VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 10-CENT 1855 ISSUE ON A FREMONT 1856 CAMPAIGN COVER TO CANADA. PROBABLY UNIQUE.

We record only two other 10c 1855 Issue covers with a Fremont design--both mailed domestically and with different designs than the one offered here. This is the only example we record mailed to Canada.
