| Item | IMAGE | Description | Price (£) |
| Overseas Covers |
| OS1 |  | Beautiful pair of cut-square 1/-s, together with an 1841 1d red and 1841 2d Blue on a very fine double-rate cover from Liverpool to New York via the Cunarder SS Niagara, 27th Nov 1852. Filing fold through rh 1/- and through the 1d red, but a very scarce tri-colour cover, highly attractive item. | 595.00 |

| OS4 |  | 1841 1d red imperf from Glasgow to HAMBURG, 18th Oct 1852. 1d adhesive plus 8d paid in cash - the 1d ignored? Very scarce. | 195.00 |
| OS5 |  | 1841 1d red from Cockermouth to Boulogne, 17th June 1848. 1d adhesive plus 7d in cash. Scarce | 160.00 |

| OS7 |  | 6d lilac pl 1 + 2d blue pl 5 on 20th Feb 1857 entire from Edinburgh to Kingston, Canada, cancelled by fine Edinburgh roller. | 75.00 |
| OS8 |  | Small cover sent from Italy (Florence?) to London in January 1845. Red French transit mark. In London the cover was redirected to St Leonards on Sea with a 1d red imperf. Most unusual item. | 95.00 |
| OS9 |  | Somewhat care-worn but fasinating and rare cover from Kirkcowan (udc) via Dumfries to Alhow and Agra - 17th March 1859. Marked "Insufficient postage ..6.. British share of fine: 3" (Who paid the rest, and why?!) | 45.00 |
| OS10 |  | Amazing envelope from Bradford to Leipzig dated 13th November 1872, insufficiently paid with 3d rose pl 8. Initially marked 'PD', but this has been officially obliterated, and a long manuscript explanation by the Leipzig postmaster written on the back as to why the 14gms requires a further 7 1/2 units due- and finished off with a superb red wax seal of Leipzig post office (at least another 2 or 3 gms!) | 85.00 |
| OS12 |  | Beautiful wing-margined 10d pl 1 on very fine entire from Glasgow to Mauritius. Superb fresh item. | 295.00 |
| OS13 |  | Unusual letter (report) from the Lisbon Acadamy of Sciences, dated 8th May 1866, sent from London on 7th July 1866 to Cambridge, Massachusetts with only a single 1d (pl 98)[TG] - collecting an inspection mark, but no surcharge on the British side - 11d short of the 1/- rate due! | 125.00 |
| OS14 |  | 3rd Nov 1871 envelope from London to Munich, with 3 x 1d pl 121[PG-PI] | 35.00 |

| OS16 |  | Beautiful 22 Sept 1868 entire from London to Jacobstad, Finland (then part of Russia), bearing fine faultless 9d Straw pl 4 [AI]. In view of the disparity with the Gregorian calander, the letter arrived on 14 Sep ! An extremely attractive item of exhibition quality. | 250.00 |
| OS17 |  | 1/- embossed cut square with good margins - barely touched at the top - unfolded envelope from Portsmouth on 27th Jan 1854 to Albion, Illinois. A clean and most attractive item - cat £1,100.00 | 285.00 |
| OS18 |  | 1d star [EE] from Dunfermline , 24th Oct 1856, to La Rochelle, France - 4d short of the 5d rate - charged 16 decimes, | 95.00 |
| OS 19 |  | 1841 1d imperf pl 78 [QE], 4 margins, tied to fine 12th Jun 1848 entire from Macclesfield to the Hennesy Co in Cognac (ordering brandy at 6/- per gallon!). Very particular about the terms of the order - but not so particular about the postage, which is 1/2d short of the due rate to France at the time (1/3d for half an oz). The manuscript annotation is assumed to be the addition of the 1/2d due! A fascinating and attractive item. | 215.00 |
| OS20 |  | Strip of four 1841 2d Blues, sent from Dunse on 21st August 1851 to Portland, New South Wales, where the cover arrived on 29th December. Prepaid 8d for the single ship letter rate to Australia (London Ship Letter mark) . Manuscript 5 showing that the recipient was charged 3d single ship letter rate, plus 2d internal rate under the 1849 NSW Acct. Scarce (and late use of ) Portland arrival datestamp. Rare and attractive item. | 425.00 |
