VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING COMBINATION OF ELEMENTS -- THE SCARCE VANCOUVER ISLAND CUSTOMS CROWN-CIRCLE, EXPRESS USAGE FROM VICTORIA AND LOCAL POST SERVICE PROVIDED BY BLOOD'S PENNY POST. QUITE POSSIBLY UNIQUE AND CERTAINLY OF THE HIGHEST EXHIBITION QUALITY.
There are thirteen reported examples of the Vancouver Island customs seal used by Vancouver Island postmaster A. C. Anderson to indicate payment of 2-1/2p local postage (used July 1858-June 1859). We do not know of another example used in combination with Blood's service. (Image)
