1897 "PAID ALL" Rate Handstamp on Cover, dated SEP.24.1897 on St John's drop letter. This handstamp was used as a temporary measure due to a shortage of low value stamps lost in the wreck of the steamer Capulet, recorded used from SEP.24 to DEC.5, thus making this the earliest known, or even a first day cover. Creases, still fine. (Image)

1889 Colour Card Depicting a Map of Newfoundland Highlighting the Cod Fishing Industry, titles "Cleaning Fish / Banks of Newfoundland" and printed in 1889 by the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co. in New York City. The population is given as 197,332 at the time. The back of the card explains in detail how it is better to grind your own coffee at home, and lists all of the countries represented in this series of cards, which were apparently included in bags of their coffee. A lovely item which once adorned the title page of the owner's exhibit "Selected Cents Covers, 1865-1909". (Image)

15c Rate Cover to Australia, mailed from St John's on FE.9.1889 and addressed to Melbourne, Australia, through San Francisco (FEB.20 transit on back). Originally franked with a strip of three of the 5c dark blue Harp Seal and somewhere along the way a large part of the middle stamp got removed (remaining two are damaged), with "Stamp Lost / In Transit" boxed handstamp. There is also a red "PAID ALL" handstamp on front. Once arrived in Melbourne on APR.11, several attempts were made to try and find the addressee, with many hand written notes to that effect, as well as pink Letter Carrier handstamps on front. Both front and back show a boxed "Unclaimed At / Melbourne" handstamp, and the cover was opened at bottom and re-sealed with stamp selvedge, with a pencil "2/9/89" date, as well as an interesting note on back reading "Opened by Mrs. Strachan but not for her, 11/4/89." The back then shows several circular and boxed datestamps, mostly Dead Letter Office, dated OCT.10 and DEC.3. Very fine, and a rare destination for Newfoundland, plus a great story to boot. (Image)
