cover 1855 watermark Large Star, imperf., 2d. green, a very fine strip of three with clear to large margins virtually all round (the right stamp just touched at top), neatly cancelled "60" and tied to 1856 (8 Oct.) entire letter ex the "Pigeon" correspondence from Launceston to London, marked "P. Montgomery", showing diamond-framed "POST-OFFICE/LAUNCESTON" d.s. (just tying the strip), "PAID/LIVERPOOL/SHIP" and London Paid d.s., all three in red. A highly attractive and almost certainly unique franking. Photo
