MexicoOutgoing MailBritish Post Office1850, June 15. Folded cover from Veracruz to Havana, entering the British mail with application of crowned "Paid/At/Veracruz", and corresponding "1/-" maritime one shilling fee, with two different double-arc dispatch datestamps. In Havana, the "Empresa/N. America" c.d.s. (P.E. 67) and the "3" due marking were struck. Some usual slight aging to be expected. The only cover recorded with this combination of markings, including two different postal administrations, further enhanced by the very scarce usage of this "Empresa" handstamp in yellow.
