6e, 7, 10c [1878-1890s Perf 14 x 13.5 Bicolors: 3c inverted frame, 4c normal frame, 10c inverted frame] (VF / F-VF) on beautiful 5 September 1896 registered cover to the U.S. Clear and sharp FREDERIKSTED sans-serif cancellations and well-struck (for these) vertical magenta DWI registry handstamp. Also with faint U.S. incoming registered mail number in greenish blue. Ten cents foreign postage rate with seven cents registry fee. Extremely thin paper envelope -- the thinnest I have ever seen from DWI -- to allow more weight for the contents (but a miracle that it survived in such great quality). Neatly opened on the left end. Clear U.S. backstamps; it reached New York in only seven days. If these were only single-colored stamps, we would call this a 3-color cover, but as bicolors it is a stunning 6-color cover! Wonderful example in every respect -- seldom seen so nice! |
