Used, with light manuscript cancel. Repairs including a repaired tear and added margins at top and bottom. Fine to very fine appearance.
Lyons records that the two recorded red Type 3 design, 33L7 stamps both have the word "office" at the end of line eight and both have a comma after "delivered" and a period after "Street." This example has an error in the seventh line, where the word "House" seemingly has an "n" instead of a "u".
