Envelope a fraction soiled though a very rare first issue franking. Philatelic Foundation Certificate (1966). Photo

Note: Described as a quadruple rate the envelope gives no indication that the contents would have been heavy enough for this rating and maybe this is a registered cover, 2d. postage and 6d. registration fee, without notification to this effect
