Bahamas, "PAID AT BAHAMAS" Crowned Circle handstamp, clear strike in red on a small envelope rated manuscript "4" with a nice strike of the straightline "BAHAMAS/SHIP LETTER" handstamp and a very faint Bahamas double-arc datestamp on the reverse; cleaned and repaired, but still attractive and the only recorded example of this Crowned Circle used on a Ship Letter within the Colony, Ex-Ludington,
The cover is addressed to Mrs. S. Dillet, the wife of the Nassau Postmaster, who paid the 4d ship letter charge and added the Crowned Circle to show that no postage was to be collected on delivery . Suggested Bid $1,500-2,000 (Image)
