VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE BAVARIA 1849 ONE-KREUZER USED ON A PRINTED CIRCULAR.

Bavaria was the first German state to issue its own postage stamps. The 1kr was used primarily for local mail and also for use on printed matter such as this circular.

Signed Bloch. Scott Retail as cancelled by both pen and postmarks -- this should be considered far more desirable as there are no pen cancels. (Image)

321 c CRETE, 1898, 20pa Violet (1 SG B1).> Large to huge margins, <control perf 28,> tied by purple <Union Jack with Temenos> handstamp on blue cover addressed to <<Rear Admiral Sir G. Noel KCMG, RN, HMS Revenge, Kandia>>, some minor edgewear<><CRETE, 1898, 20pa Violet (1, SG B1). Large to huge margins, control perf "28", tied by purple Union Jack with "Temenos" handstamp on blue cover addressed to "Rear Admiral Sir G. Noel KCMG, RN, HMS 'Revenge', Kandia", some minor edgewear

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE FIRST ISSUE OF CRETE UNDER THE BRITISH SPHERE OF ADMINISTRATION. NON-PHILATELIC USAGES ARE EXTREMELY RARE.

Covers are known which are philatelic and were sent home as souvenirs. However, the control perforation "28" was used for letters sent by the high officials and military and naval authorities concerned with the short-lived administration.

The purple handstamp used on this cover had previously been used as a provisional marking with date and value inserted. There is no date on this cover as a datestamp was issued at the time of the stamp's use. We can partly date the cover by the Admiral's movements -- he arrived on the Revenge on September 12, 1898 to supervise Turkish disarmament and surrender, and he left on December 27 after completing his task.

325   GREAT BRITAIN, 1840, 2p Pale Blue (2 SG 5 or SG D1(3)vh).> Plate 1, large margins to full, pretty shade which is nicely complemented by well-struck red <Wotton-under-Edge Maltese Cross> cancel<><>^VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THIS DISTINCTIVE RED MALTESEGREAT BRITAIN, 1840, 2p Pale Blue (2, SG 5 or SG D1(3)vh). Plate 1, large margins to full, pretty shade which is nicely complemented by well-struck red Wotton-under-Edge Maltese Cross cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THIS DISTINCTIVE RED MALTESE CROSS CANCELLATION FROM WOTTON-UNDER-EDGE IS EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY ON SUCH A PRETTY STAMP.

The Maltese Cross cancels were all made by hand, and so there tends to be some variations. Some are distinctly different from what one normally sees -- this particular Maltese Cross cancellation is easily identifiable, because the outer lines have gaps.
