| Country: All Subject: Newly discovered Clear | Sort: Newest listed first |
;) ;) | RICHMOND, Jamaica railway postmark (S3,D2 in unrecorded purple ink) dated JUN 15 1945 on reverse 2nd Class cheap fare ticket to Riversdale. £150 |
;) ;) ;) | HAMBURG-AMERICA LINE postal history HAMBURG-AMERIKA LINIE/ENE 7 1914/PUERTO MEXICO.-OFFICE purple oval agents arrival cachet on 2c Post Card pmk'd Mexico D.F. 5 ENE 14 to Sr. W.C. Barthman, Puerto Mexico, minor bends at left. Unlisted in Michael Rego handbook £125 |
;) | GOODS TRAIN, Jamaica railway postmark previously unrecorded large part straight line in purple ink on ½d Arms (thought SG.37 but some paper adhers) with manuscript signature of "A. Cooper" below. Currently unique. £525 |
;) | NIGER COMPANY LOKOJA, Nigeria postmark unrecorded purple d/ring oval part dated 7 JUN 1--- on Northern Nigeria 1910 KE7 1d red (SG.29) fragment. £425 |
;) ;) ;) ;) | 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 |
;) ;) ;) | BUFF BAY (with GOVT. instead of GOV'T without stop), Jamaica railway postmark a new type (not conforming with expectations Topaz S3 or Proud D3) in blue dated JAN 10 1924 on 1d Arawak (SG.95) piece, some faults. Period of use currently established for JAN 10 1924 to DEC 31 1924 as per attached images of known strikes (the part strike on ½d Exhibition being ex Bob Swarbrick collection) £240 |
;) ;) ;) | GOVERNOR'S or GOVERNMENT/OFFICIAL/BRITISH, British Guiana postmark large part offset in purple ink of a possibly unrecorded postal cancellation, or departmental cachet, on reverse 1907 4c brown & purple MCA wmk (SG.254) partially pmk'd at Georgetown. Flipped horizontally in second scan provided £28 |
;) | PUNTA GORDA, British Honduras postmark unlisted by David Horry in his "Encyclopaedia of British West Indies Postmarks - King George VI" and part dated 2.00PM/-E 3 51 on KG6 50c (SG.158). This example has been in my possession for probably 15 years or more. Ian Mathieson has the same postmark on KG6 25c (SG.157) which looks as if it might have the same date, the Mathieson example clearly shows "F" of "FE" month slug. Only two examples currently recorded £120 |
;) | VERKEERDEVLEI, Orange River Colony postmark newly discovered and Putzel unrecorded skeleton dated 16 11 37 on SA 1d. £18 |
;) | JINJA, Uganda postmark Newly discovered Proud unrecorded boxed purple handstamp used for parcel post on block of six KGV 6c (SG.46), some creasing and age stains. £65 |
;) | JAMAICA USED AT BRITISH POST OFFICES ABROAD The currently unique trio of “C51” (used St. Thomas) on QV 1d Pine wmk, the unrecorded on GB used abroad “D60” (whereabouts of use unknown, RPS certificate) on QV 6d Pine wmk, and “E88” (used Colon) on QV 2d CC wmk. Similar to the accepted use of Trinidad stamps at Ciudad Bolivar, it is now thought that Jamaica stamps may have had permitted or accepted use on correspondence back to the island – see Foster Page 31. (A red ink “D63” is also recorded on Jamaica QV 6d Pine wmk). The "D60" illustrated Parmenter & Gordon handbook Page 3 / 52 £4000 |
;) ;) | BAKANA, Southern Nigeria postmark (T.4) E/NO 12 08 on KE7 3d (SG.25). E code unrecorded in Ince & Sacher handbook £36 |
;) | PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad postmark Proud unlisted red ink dated 5 VII 55 on QE2 3c Coronation (SG.279). £9 |
;) | E58 used LITTLE RIVER, Jamaica postmark part strike on QV 1d OFFICIAL (SG.04), full perfs, extremely rare on this. £18 |
;) | PARCEL POST G.P.O. BLOEMFONTEIN, Orange River Colony postmark on Transvaal stamps Putzel unrecorded interprovincial dated NOV 2 1912 in purple ink on pair Transvaal KE7 4d MCA wmk (SG.265). £75 |
;) | CAMPBELLVILLE PA, British Guiana postmark (T.34, allocated D1-2) corrected spelling skeleton retaining spaced VILLE PA (Proud unlisted as such) dated 15 DE 52 on KG6 1c, 4c, 6c piece. £15 |
;) | BLOEMFONTEIN POST OFFICE, Orange River Colony postmark on Transvaal stamp in purple ink part dated -- JAN 1901 on Transvaal 1d V.R.I. (SG.227). Putzel unrecorded £40 |
;) | LENZ, Transvaal postmark Putzel unrecorded dated 18 JAN 46 on South Africa 2d. No postmarks previously seen for first office opening SP 20 1943 to AP 7 1947 £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 |
;) | KENT, Sierra Leone postmark (0.73.02) B/MY 2 08 on KE7 1d (SG.100), corner perf. fault. Previously unrecorded B code, office closure from 1909 to 1912 £80 |
