cover 1827 (8 Aug.) entire letter from St. John's to London, rated "1/4" and showing a superb strike of the "POST OFFICE/Arms/NEWFOUNDLAND" "Solomon Seal" handstamp, the reverse with Portsmouth Ship Letter h.s. and arrival c.d.s.; three vertical filing creases, one of which just impinges on the handstamp, though surely the finest of the seven examples recorded.
