"Double single."

Technically not incorrect, but still...

At In - 'n - Out hamburgers out here in California, their most popular burger is the "Double double," with two patties and two pieces of cheese.

But if you're really hungry and you order a "Triple triple," you'll be told that that is called a "Three by three."

Weird.

And in baseball the shorthand term for "double single" is "double."

The seller is a double don, so it makes sense.

conveyance fifty cents green hand cancelled pair

I don't see any green anywhere.
I can't tell if he intends the 'green' adjective to describe the stamp or cancellation.

edit: or the 'hand'.
