Description
1844 (Dec 5) Cover to Congleton franked with 1d red FE, four margins, folded along the side and tied by the “583” Nottingham English numeral, and incredibly being uncreased by the postal officer and then cancelled again (note the right angle straight edge and there is a second strike of the numeral on the stamp), an rare example of this oddity, thought to be either an anti-monarchy symbol or intended to send a message to the recipient, but normally these are not struck a second time on the folded face.
