Canada 1890 1 Cent + 2 Cent Reg'd. Drop Letter #34 1/2c + 2c Registration Stamp - $300 - (Ottawa, ON)

Small town drop letter DE 18 90 JORDAN, ONT. split ring. Although the Domestic registration rate was increased to 5c in 1889, Specific drop letter registration wasn't mentioned. A small town Jordan (PO closed in 1970) Postmaster may still allow the 2c registration on a drop letter, a letter that stays within the Post Office. Stamps on the cover belong and there aren't any stamps missing.Postmasters of the time, like other businessmen often showed favouritism to some, especially if the letter remained in the Postmaster's post office. Please wait for an invoice before paying so we can apply the proper shipping amount, with tracking. It will never be over the estimate.
