293 45, 48 imageGreat Britain, 1867 Walsall (Staffordshire), England to Hillsdale, Michigan. Blue registered cover franked with 1865 6d (Plate 6, faulty) + 1sh (plate 4) tied by "Walsall 834" duplex cancel with scarce red "Detroit Am. Pkt/Paid" at bottom left, manuscript endorsement "Registered" at top left. Scott No. 45+48  Estimate $200 - 300. Franking pays the 1 shilling per half ounce letter rate plus 4 pence registration fee plus 2 pence overpayment. Very few overpayments of this magnitude are found on British mail. The registration fee to the U.S. changed to 4 pence effective 1 Feb 1866 section 66020 - (British Post Office Notices 1666 -1899, Volume 6, 1860-1869, Part 2 by M.M. Raguin). Possibly the mailing post office was unaware of the change or this represents an unofficial 4 pence stamp since about a fourth of the top is missing. It's possible the postal clerk didn't have a four pence stamp in stock and charged 4 pence for part of a six pence stamp. It has been thought the 2 pence overcharge might represent a late fee but section 63043 (ibid.) states: "2. That all Letters, whether Inland, Colonial, or Foreign, may be Registered at the London District Post Offices (including the Lombard Street and Charing Cross Branch Post Offices), or at any Provincial Head Post Office In the United Kingdom, after the ordinary hours appointed for the Registration thereof at any such post office, until closing of the Letter Box for each despatch, or until such Post Offices is closed for the night, upon payment of a late Registration rate of Postage of Four pence, which shall be payable in Stamps, in addition to the ordinary Registration rate, and to any other rates chargeable or payable thereon.", eliminating this as a possibility. Carried per Allen Line steamer "Hibernian", departing Liverpool 12 Dee., arriving Portland 27 Dec. Very unusual cover!!! . (Image1)
