Cat No: British Commonwealth
British Commonwealth Advanced Collection of 1935 Silver Jubilee O.H.M.S. Covers and Receipts, being an advanced and specialized collection of (mostly registered) envelopes used to mail new issues to collectors around the world from various British Commonwealth countries' stamp authorities. The collector's main aim was to collect these envelopes with their original receipts and often accompanying letters, which is not an easy task, as they are not often encountered. The amazing result of decades of collecting these is the lot we are offering here, which includes some 104 various sized covers (mostly franked with 1935 Silver Jubilee issues, as well as a few other frankings and a few mailed unfranked), about 55 of which still have their receipts or letters or stamp advertising included. There are many collecting interests in the covers themselves, including the stamps (saw some listed varieties, some mailed on first or last day of issue), frankings, rates, and postmarks. The enclosures are also quite interesting, showing the various styles of receipts used by the different countries, interesting letters with various styles of letter heads talking about availability and stocks held, orders that could not be fulfilled, etc. The lot also includes a few "precursor" items such as a 1907 OHMS cover and stamp information letter from Mombassa, East Africa and Uganda and a 1939 cover and letter from Nairobi, Kenya, both similar to the items collected, plus two postcards with printed 1d stamps from the Gold Coast (1894 to Philadelphia discussing the purchase of used stamps, 1895 rare card mailed locally being a discussion between two postal officials). The lot includes a folder with many related notes and articles, as well as a DVD loaded with photos of all the items, many additional articles and information folders, as well as a detailed PDF list of all the items in the collection with notes on each of them. Overall nice quality lot, with the usual creases or opening tears, etc. still a unique opportunity to acquire such an impressive collection. Scans only show a small portion of the lot. (Image)

Great Britain Very Early Use of Blue Pencil Cross on Registered Cover, a legal size O.H.M.S. (Inland Revenue / Somerset House) cover mailed registered on MAR.28.1878 (red oval registration datestamp) from London to The Distributor / Stamp Office / Cullompton (received there MAR.29), with blue pencil cross on front and back. There is also a double oval Inland Revenue datestamp on front MAR.28.1878. The blue crayon crosses were introduced on January 1st, 1878 to simulate the ribbons previously applied to registered mail, and to help attract attention to the special services required by postal clerks. Accompanied by an in-depth article on the beginnings of this scheme, explaining that there were some attempts to push back the date to April 1st for various reasons, and how it actually ended up starting on January 1st. Cover has some opening faults at one end and some staining on back, still an important item for the registration specialist. (Image)
