Offered is a lovely, genuine postal-use cover, sent in 1898 to Bishop Aukland via Plymouth, and bearing the 2½d definitive of Queen Victoria, SG50. A delicate diamond cancel and ineresting backstamps make this a choice example, which has survived in optimal condition. A wonderful and scarce piece of colonial postal history.
