1874 20c Double Pre-U.P.U. Trans Pacific Rate via USA Small Queen Cover to Australia, mailed (possibly from Bayham) on AUG.5.1874, through Windsor (AUG.8 backstamp) and Detroit Michigan "AUG.8 PAID ALL" (c.d.s. in red) to Victoria, Australia, with SEP.28 and SEP.29 Melbourne backstamps. Originally shortpaid, the cover received a "RETURNED FOR / POSTAGE" handstamp in blue, and was held at the Post Office until the sender could be found and the correct rate applied. The sender was found and the blue "ADVERTISED / AND NOT CALLED FOR" subsequently stuck out in pen. The franking consists of an initial 16c with five 3c and one 1c (all manuscript cancelled) and a further pair of 2c (wrapped around the side of the cover) was added later, each cancelled by a fancy "1" due marking in red, as the rate at this time to Victoria was 10c per ½ oz. A red crayon "14", possibly an accountancy marking for the US Post Office fee, also adds to the calculations. An interesting cover, with many important faults, still scarce and useful to the specialist. (Image)
