cover 1871 watermark Large Star, perf. 12½x10, 1d. deep brown, a fine horizontal pair on 1871 (27 Nov.) XU5 to Port Chalmers, very neatly cancelled with "PALMERSTON NORTH" c.d.s. with fine "FOXTON" c.d.s. alongside; the XU5 with some minor peripheral faults and tiny ink filing reference number at upper-left does not detract from the fine appearance of this unique item. Signed Holcombe. S.G. 127. Ex Stanley. Photo
