Postal Stationery #EN1, EN2. A matched set of the 1860 issued "Nesbitt" 5c red and 10c dark-brown envelopes, being both basic examples of Canada's first postal stationery series. An above average pair, embossed by the George F. Nesbitt & Company (New York) and printed on watermark "Ca/POD" paper. Many of these early issues have "stuck" flaps, being exposed to some moisture in the last 160+ years, these examples both have free and fully-gummed backflaps. Some very minor edge wear does not detract, but mentioned "for the record". No longer listed in Unitrade (since the issuance of the latest Webb catalogue). 2019 (8th Edition) Webb Catalogue =
