#77(2), 83, 84 2c(2), 10c, 20c Numeral tied by purple oval "Enquiry Office Post Office Toronto NOV 14 1902" on worn label to Singapore, Strait Settlements. The item was originally typed at lower left "Sample Post", which was crossed out and noted as "Parcel (post)". The sample rate had a maximum 12 oz limit so this item was corrected to parcel post for 34 oz at 1c per oz. The rare destination and confusion over sample post versus parcel post was the likely reason for the item being processed at the Enquiry office. The parcel was sent via London and carried via P&O line of steamers. Parcel post mail is rare, and this is certainly the highest franked, most exotic international parcel post item of the Numeral era. An absolute stunning exhibition item. (Image)
