;) | POSTMASBURG, Cape of Good Hope postmark JU 16 97 on vertical pair 1d (SG.59a) piece. £8 |
;) | WOODSTOCK, Cape of Good Hope postmark skeleton dated FE 27 5 on 1d (SG.69), corner perf. fault. £5 |

;) ;) ;) ;) | 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 |
