1869 Wells Fargo & Co 10c envelope to San Francisco with a 5 cents surcharge on 3d pale red tied by a blue barred ‘35’ canceller. The 10c has been cancelled by an oval blue WELLS FARGO, VICTORIA, NOV 23 canceller. A remarkable and very scarce Pacific Coast mixed usage, combining a Wells Fargo envelope with a British Columbia surcharged stamp. Very few covers are recorded, and a key item for a British Columbia and Wells Fargo collector.
