TP Drury Lane. The use of a black cross on a plate 1a adhesive is exceptionally rare.

The use of a plate 1a in this context makes a very scarce combination (Black MX on a 1a , Spec AS2f, is cat £850 off cover). Although the cover shows some age marks and toning , a very collectable item, displaying well. | 245.00 |

This example - being readdressed -is particularly interesting, as it shows no evidence of additional charge on redirection - the authorities in London having perhaps been confused as to the purpose/role of the additional MX. Spilsby to London, 18 Dec 1840, redirected to Grimsthorpe, Lincolnshire. | 795.00 |
