Great Britain 1867 beautiful albino embossed Valentine´s envelope addressed to North Neots, bearing 1864-79 1d. plate 100, JJ, tied by fine light Southport duplex for 15 February 1867, address panel with manuscript "above 1 oz." and "2", also included is a stunningly fresh example of a "Rimmels Sachet Valentine of the Language of Flowers" (originally perfumed), the sachet in blue with gold ornamental borders front and back, floral pictorial overlay on front with love poem underneath. While it is not possible to guarantee that the enclosure is the original one, it seems likely it was given the overweight nature of the envelope and light enclosure bends on reverse seem very similar in shape and size. Photo Estimate £ 400-500
