1847, 1s. green, die 'W.W. 1', cancelled with barred numeral '76' of the London District Post, used on pre-printed lettersheet of the Bank of England, dated 14/9/52 inside, printed or handstamped letter code B on front left to the adhesive stamp, two London date stamps of 14 September 1852 for dispatch on reverse, Liverpool datestamp "L SP 15" (1852) applied in transit, addressed to "Miss Catherine Browne, Island of Bermuda".
the 1847, 1s is cut close but not touched at bottom, otherwise wwith very large regular margins and neatly cancelled. The "76" barred numeral, issued in 1851 to the London Chief Office for cancelling the bulk of letters collected in the District Post area, does not tie from the 1s postage stamp to the lettersheet, nevertheless it can be confirmed the 1s stamp had originally been used on the cover. Adhesive and envelope are in a very fresh state of preservation.
The 1s postage is for a letter not exceeding 1/2 ounce weight routed via Liverpool and Halifax (Nova Scotia) to Bermuda. The code letter "B" left to the adhesive stamp is thought to be a senders marking of the Bank of England.
A very rare foreign destination cover to the Islands of Bermuda.
Certificates Richter (1997), van der Linden BPP (1997), Royal Philatelic Society (1999), Louis BPP (2016).
This Lot is under the margin tax system (§25a UStG). The VAT (MWSt) is not displayed seperate on the bill.
