An exceptional first page item of R.M.S.P. Co. postal history showing all the intricate detail of “first ever” mail carried by the company to the West Indies.

Reverse with manuscript "Mt Charles 11 Mar 1875" written top left corner and central poor FOUR PATHS MR 15 75 arrival. Arguably one of Jamaica's greatest rarity covers and a great exhibition item. The "A79" (H) was allocated to the Richmond Post Office (St. Mary Parish) and only one cover is known dated FE 2 1866. Shortly after this date the instrument became damaged as a differing format replacement "A79" (Type J) is known used at Richmond AU 7 1866 (just five months later). Robert Topaz in his 1967 rarity guide recorded no examples damaged "A 9" on Pine wmk issues, but recorded the "A 9" on CC wmk 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 6d each described as very rare and each allocated his highest pricing of £270 each in his 1981 pricing guide. The Mount Charles Post Office (St. Andrews Parish) was opened September 15th 1874. £4250 |

;) | KINGSTON X code (used LATE FEE covers), Jamaica postmark (SQC) 1 X/SP 15 92 on QV 6d CC wmk (SG.12). The Late Fee charge being 6d £15 |
;) | JAMAICA-PAID, Jamaica postmark (PD14) in red dated 11 JA 1883 on stampless envelope piece. Showing circular background to handstamp which would have clearly led to rounded corners of oblong with progressive use, Proud records FE 2 1889 to AP 7 1897 £14 |
;) ;) ;) ;) | JAMAICA(-PAID), Jamaica postmark (10½mm high) assumed JAMAICA-PAID showing JA 24 on lower line (similarly to Proud PD14 recorded FE 8 1889 to AP 7 1897 but with square, rather than rounded, corners) together with KINGSTON, JAMAICA cds dated C/JA 24 76 on QV 1/- CC wmk (SG.13), horizontal bend and perf. faults. The later PD14 stampless covers are struck in red and have similar red crayon amount alongside. A single cover to UK dated NO 9 61 has QV 1/- for postage and QV 6d for late fee. Therefore it is plausible that a similar cover to the JU 5 76 known cover to Belize franked QV 6d could have had 6d postage plus 6d late fee and been paid with QV 1/- stamp. The handstamp would have acted like a Crowned Circle to distinguish as such rather than the letter read as double 6d rate. £48 |
