Cuba 1903 - Sc 228 - (EDIFIL Intervencion Norteamericana 31) three singles on 1903 cover to New York.
Three 2c carmine stamp on beautiful cover from Havana to New York. This is an illustrated advertising cover of GRAN CASA DE HUESPEDES - BOARDING HOUSE - 75 EMPEDRADO STREET - HABANA - (de) ALBERTO GARI Y JIMENEZ - Backstamped on arrival at New York. There is a small tear with no loss of paper at the upper margin, over GRAN CASA. This envelope was manufactured using a pinkish colored paper stock and it is not aged or stained in any way as you may infer by looking at the pictures. This is the only such cover we have ever seen. Very nice and unusual.
