;) | RETURNED FOR/POSTAL ADDRESS, Jamaica postal history (Proud Type 173, ERD) on QV ½d Reply Post Card (reverse blank) pmk'd KINGSTON 3D/FE 26 90 sqc from Capt. Clark to a George D'Pass with text reading "I leave today for Buff Bay and to leave next week for Kingston. What you have for me save for me. I been laying here six days now and would take to rum quickly". He obviously did as with no postal address. £180 |
;) ;) | BUSHY PARK STATION, Jamaica railway postmark (S2b in blue, Proud unlisted) dated AUG 10 1903 on 1d Falls (SG.32), perf. defects at lower right. Only one dated strike for JAN 20 1906 recorded by Topaz, Seifert, Cwiakala, a further strike dated FE 27 1905 confirms no side dot so Type S2b and not S2. The cancel seemingly so elusive that it is unlisted in the Proud handbook. £325 |
;) ;) ;) ;) | Confirmation new 6d rate with locally handstruck "6d", Jamaica postal history entire headed "Duplicate. Kingston Jamaica 24th June 1854" pmk'd KINGSTON-JAMAICA JY 11 1854 dbl-arc to John Mathie, Stirling, North Britain rated manuscript "6" unpaid confirmed with handstruck "6d" which appears to be in matching ink colour. Red JY 31 1854 (applied London) and red circled M/NR (Morning, Northern Railway applied London) and STIRLING AU 1 1854 in paler black ink. Currently the only known example. The new 6d rate per half ounce was introduced MR 23 1854. Three experts on UK postal history have been approached and their combined opinion is that the handstruck "6d" is not a British handstamp, and therefore most probably applied at Jamaica (a similar handstruck "6" is known on two ingoing unpaid Barbados entires) £725 |
