A10 used KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent postmark on TRINIDAD stamp
(PML.4), struck firmly on arrival as a "killer" due the indistinct TRINIDAD dbl-arc blending into the background of the Trinidad 1872 4d grey P.12½ (SG.71), tiny pin-hole.

EARLIEST KNOWN USE OF A ST. VINCENT STAMP and a first sailing date of use
(Placed in POSTAL HISTORY section for convenience): This QV 1d rose-red Perf. 14 to 16 (SG.1) in the accepted paler shade of colour of the first printing, as mentioned PML handbook Page 27, came from the first delivery invoiced from London on 27 March 1861 (56,040 stamps plus 10,020 6d deep yellow-green, SG.2) with expected arrival on 8 April 1861. These adhesives were seemingly not immediately unpacked as known covers of AP 9 61 and AP 24 1861 to the UK are cancelled with the red “PAID AT ST. VINCENT” pre-stamp handstamp. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue lists 8 May 1861 for issue date of the two denominations, which may be true. This 1d adhesive was cancelled by horizontal “A10” (PML.1) on the 8th, 9th or 10th for the 10 May 1861 sailing, and travelled on R.M.S.P. Teviot collecting BARBADOES dbl-arc arrival dated MY 11 1861 making this the EARLIEST KNOWN USE OF A ST. VINCENT STAMP and a first sailing date. The first known adhesive cover bears a strip of three QV 1d, pair QV 6d pmk’d JU 8 1861 addressed to Norfolk, Virginia and travelled in through New Orleans being possibly the finest known American Civil War blockade running cover. The second delivery of the QV 1d rose-red was not invoiced until 22 July 1862 (28,020 stamps), slight thinning.

£18

A10 used KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent postmark
(PML.4) in red ink on 1873 QV 1/- lilac-rose (SG.20, Cat.£350) with tear at base from the mysterious band of use somewhere within the life of the later QV 1/- claret (SG.21) pmk'd red ink PML.4 period NO 28 1875 to DE 28 1876.
The 1875 QV 1/- claret (SG.21, in use for approx. 17 months) is pmk’d at Kingstown firstly by black horiz. “A10” (PML.4), secondly by red ST. VINCENT cds, and thirdly by red horiz. “A10” (PML.4). The black PML.4 band stretches from JU 27 1872 (cover) to JU 24 1875 (red village “CH” overstruck black “A10”), the red ST. VINCENT band being JY 10 1875 to NO 9 1875 (covers), and the red PML.4 band being NO 28 1875 to DE 28 1876 (covers) giving way to the first 1/- vermilion (SG.24) cover of FE 28 1877 with continued cancelling by red PML.4. The last two bands might have been extended by loose village pmk’d stamps but when Kingstown switched to the red ink pad the overstriking was abandoned as the GPO did not want red overstruck red. (During the red PML.4 band covers to other BWI islands and the USA are found cancelled by red ST. VINCENT cds).
