 1852 (Aug 6) outer to "Belfast/Port Fairy/via Sydney" with Laureates 2d (close even margins) tied by a poor cancel, the reverse
festooned with oval datestamps of 'DRAYTON/AU*6/1851/NEW S WALES', poor 'GAYNDAH/AU*8/1851/NEW S WALES', Sydney (cds of AU*25/1852), poor Melbourne and fine 'PORT FAIRY/SE*10/1852/VICTORIA' arrival, rather soiled but an excellent origin/destination
item in this period. If the dates are all correct, and it seems highly unlikely that both Drayton & Gayndah would be out by a year - this item was apparently delayed at Gayndah for 13 months. Such a delay may be explained by the stains, that suggest
the cover may have been discovered under a cabinet or in a filthy crevice. As such, the condition might be considered a positive.

fine Launceston diamond datestamp in red at left, Sydney transit & 'BRISBANE/OC*8/ 1855/NSW' arrival backstamps, very minor blemishes. An exceptional origin/destination item: the earliest recorded cover from Tasmania to Queensland. The letter is
signed "JWCrookes", who arrived from England in 1832 and became a prominent Hobart merchant. A Methodist lay preacher and anti-transportation activist, he also served in the Tasmanian Parliament. Sold at our auction of 5.12.2009 for $1550.
