# CL25c on Cover
|
VF example of the "Special Air Service/Sioux Lookout and Red Lake District/5cents" overprinted (in green ascending) semi-official airmail franking a very pretty and VF condition unsealed kraft paper envelope mailed from Gold Pines to Sioux Lookout, March 9th 1928 (March 9th Sioux Lookout receiver on reverse). Very unusual to see a proper one cent "unsealed letter" franking (in addition to the CL25c) paid with an "in period" 1c orange MacDonald from the 1927 Confederation set. While the envelope does not contain the original letter, there is a note from Major Dick Malott, dated 1969, which describes the this cover and Canadian semi-postal useage to the buyer. Much scarcer than the Unitrade catalogue value would suggest. 2022 Unitrade
