Notes
Lot 21 5c Brown (1). Horizontal pair, large margins to clear except at lower right corner, tied by red grid cancels, matching clear strike of "Charleston S.C. Mar. 14" cds on blue 1850 folded letter from Wilmington N.C. to Cardenas, Cuba, bold orange "Empresa N.America 16 Mar. 1850" double-circle receiving ds and matching "1" internal rate, endorsed "pr. Isabel via Charleston", fresh and Very Fine, the 12-1/2c rate to Cuba at this time is rarely seen prepaid with the 1847 Issue, because it could only be underpaid (in this case) or overpaid (in the case of the 5c plus 10c cover in the recent Ishikawa sale), a wonderful cover from the Gibson and Sampson collections
