Lot 106



Canada, House of Assembly Free-Franked cover, to Halloway, Ont. postmarked c.d.s. "HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY/ONTARIO/(crown)/DEC 3/1869" straight line "REGISTERED AT THE/HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY/ONTARIO" and "PAID 5", all markings in red, manuscript-franked by K. Graham M.P.P., backstamped boxed "REGISTERED/G.T.R." and Bellevill, Ont. Dec 4 with red, virtually intact, "LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY/ONTARIO" wax seal; Very Fine.
Estimate 400 - 500

The PAID 5 handstamp was left over from the provincial period when it had been used for the first class rate. In this case it indicated the 3¢ postage plus the 2¢ registry fee. It is likely that the 5¢ was paid from an Assembly account and not by Graham.


 
Realized $500
