1891 (17th November), incoming Natal QV ½d postal stationery card addressed to Johannesburg, uprated with an additional Natal QV ½d dull green adhesive (SG 97a), tied by a very fine CHARLESTOWN / NATAL (17 Nov) double circle datestamp. The reverse with printed heading ‘MANN & CO’ and list of destinations with rates of transport from Charlestown added in manuscript. With a very scarce LLANWARNE / Z.A.R (17 Nov) single circle transit and Johannesburg (19 Nov) arrival datestamps, both struck on the reverse. Very fine. An attractive and interesting card. |

1902 (11th June), mourning envelope addressed to England. Bearing Transvaal ½d green and 2½d dull blue and green overprinted ‘V.R.I.’ (SG 226, 229). The envelope was posted in the Cape and shows a CAPE TOWN (11 Jun) squared circle datestamp alongside and not cancelling the adhesives. The stamps were deemed invalid and marked as such with a blue circle below each. The envelope was then taxed and received an octagonal ‘T/10c’ and a ‘2D / I.S./E’ (British Inland Section) handstamp. With an Exeter (2? Jun) arrival struck on the front. Unusual |
