POSTAL HISTORY 1896 (7th November), envelope addressed within the OFS bearing two examples of the ‘½d’ surcharge on 3d ultramarine (appear to be Types ‘c’ and ‘d’, SG 71, 72) tied by a neat Bloemfontein (7 NO) single circle datestamp. With Bethulie (NO 7) arrival backstamp. Part of reverse split and re-attached, otherwise a fine and very scarce example of commercial use of this issue on cover.
