Cover sent from Ottawa, Ontario on January 24 th 1898 paying the 25c quadruple rate registered (20c + 5c) franked with QV 20c Widow Weeds & QV 5c Leaf Issue sent to Plymouth, England. Attractive combination of Ottawa boxed registered cancel/registered roller/oval registration mark. Received at London UK on Feb 2nd (front) and Plymouth on Feb 3rd (back). Note, reduced on left and with staining - but a sought-after commercial usage of the Widow Weed stamp which is seldom seen on cover. Unitrade values a single usage at $1200 but does not value mixed frankings on cover. This usage in not accounted for in the Canadian Posted Letter Guide (cover valuation book). Estimate
