1889 November, envelope bearing QV 1d carmine x 7 (SG 99a strip of five and a pair), cancelled with slightly oily P. O. A. 12 strikes. The reverse with despatch IXOPO 15 11 89 small single circe and then DURBAN NO 17 89 datestamps. Addressed to the USA and endorsed with large red accounting figure. Arrival backstamp. MOST UNUSUAL
Note: these POA numerals apparently only recorded as being in use from 1891. Both the backstamps clearly show the year as 1889. Ixopo is not recorded as having one of these numbers, and was apparently the head office for Undeen. Being a low numeral, it may be that it was allocated to a small agency prior to the otherwise recorded dates of use |
