March 2006 Society Auction

Lot 51. First and Second Issue cover; Scott #5 plus a vertical strip of three of #7. Foreign Ministry return address printed on cover; franked with a vertical strip of three of the 1c Plate II, Printing I issue. One stamp is folded over the edge onto the back, while the bottom stamp in the strip has a defect at bottom. Very rare cover in darker red shade. The 1c stamps tied to cover by 7/24/84 cds of PauP, arriving in Baltimore on 8/5 and forwarded to NY on 8/5. The superb #7 may not be original. Beautiful albino seal imposed onto back of cover. All postmarks are clear. A very fine looking cover.

The image below was taken from an available composite scan of several Auction lots prepared for use in an issue of "Haiti Philately" in 2006. A note from the Society Auctioneer may also be seen in the scan on a peelable sticker. We have chosen to include this image as a historic record that this item exists and was offered in this particular Society auction.
