Lot 319 Canada #14vii 1c Rose, Queen Victoria, 1859-1867 First Cents Issue, Single Usage of Perf. 12 x 11.75 on Undated Cover to Goderich, Marked Trade Circular
A fine cover from WM Nivin & Co of Montreal to Goderich, sent sometime between 1861 and 1864, as it is franked with a 1c rose, perf. 12 x 11.75. The stamp is just barely tied by a target cancel. The envelope is sealed, which is contrary to the regulations which required printed matter to be sent unsealed. The envelope is marked "trade circular" in the upper left corner. So it was accepted anyways. Unitrade values a fine cover at $110.
