GB 1668 Pre-Stamp - Type 1 Bishop mark

Stock Code: P223012054

1668 General Post. Superb early entire from Hemsworth (small village on the SE fringe of Sheffield) to London with a type 1 (14mm diameter, serif face) bishop mark for 'IA/26', charged '3' in manuscript below address. Sent by Nicholas Stones to John Moore and as usual with this correspondence deals with the price and mining of lead. Wonderful exhibition quality, folding perfectly to show internal dated heading alongside address-panel, very scarce so fine. Ex Frank Thompson.
