cover 2c orange, 5c blue green, 10c vermilion (7, 8a, 9; S.G.10, 15, 17), two singles of the 5c, tied by St. John "1" oval grids to Jan. 1866 cover to Barbados, St. Thomas transit and Barbados arrival datestamps on the reverse; slight peripheral discoloration to cover edge and one 5c has faults; a very rare example of the 22c rate to Barbados, one of the two recorded covers, ex. Dale-Lichtenstein, Kanai. Also a cover showing the 44c double rate bearing two 2c, three 5c and two 12½c, one 5c and one 12½c having been added to the cover to replace the original examples which had apparently fallen off in transit; a remarkable pair of covers.
