Attractive and F/VF horizontal pair of the 3 Penny Beaver imperf on wove paper, paying the proper 6p cross-border rate, Montreal March 10th 1854 to New York City. The stamps are cancelled with two "Sock on the Nose" 7-ring concentric target cancels, with a Montreal double split-ring cancel in black at lower left corner. Light pressed out vertical filing crease running through the right-hand stamp noted for the record. Valued by the best (but becoming very dated) catalogue for classic Canadian cover values, the 1996 "Canadian Posted Letter Guide" by Firby and Willson as a cover in Fine condition.
