Stock Code: P201004903

1875 Transatlantic mail. Very fine entire sent from Kilmarnock to Almonte, Canada prepaid at the Allen line 3d per ½oz rate but due to the route not being specified it was sent by "First mailing" which was the more expensive 4d rate of the Cunard lin, bearing a 1d Rose-red Pl.168 (SG 43) and a 2d Blue (SG 46) Pl.14. tied by Kilmarnock "203" numerals. Letters not directed to a particular line would be sent to the first packet to sail, even when paid the correct postage for another line. Although this cover was prepaid at the correct Allen Line rate it was sent from Liverpool per Cunard steamer "Algeria" to New York as this was a more expensive packet rate the cover bears a "1" handstamp at right for the deficit and fine, with a "5" cents handstamp showing the converted amount due to for transit in north America. Scarce.
