image 1917 Registered Special Delivery Cover to Bahamas, mailed from Winnipeg on JAN.18.1917 to Nassau Bahamas with JAN.30 receivers both front and back, through Montreal and New York (JAN.23 transits). The cover was later returned to Winnipeg, again through New York (FEB.3 transit). The cover is franked with a number of Edward issues and a 1c Admiral, for a total of 28c and has a scarce private registration label applied in Winnipeg. There is also a Bahamas E1 Special Delivery stamp applied in Winnipeg for the service to be done in Nassau, which is the better Type I variety of overprint. 600 of these stamps were sent to Canada to be used for this service, and Scott lists Winnipeg as being the better of the usages at $2,000, but states that the use must be before December 13, 1916 (this cover was mailed only one month later). A great cover with many attributes, showing 12 datestamps on back, with a few creases, still fine. (Image)
