RARE QV FRANKED "EXPRESS DELIVERY ON SUNDAY" COVER EX KESWICK TO LONDON; Spectacular large env. (minor wrinkling) from Keswick to London endorsed "Express delivery on Sunday" at top left and so franked for the special 1s-4d rate (1s-3d fee plus 1d postage) having 16 1d Lilacs (3 blocks of 4 + pair + 2 singles; some with light stains or scuffs - two wrapped over edge at left) all tired by mainly very fine "KESWICK/6PM" thimble cds's with a fine red P.O. "EXPRESS" label alongside; the flap is endorsed "received 12.30" in pencil. It is thought that only two other QV franking Sunday Express covers have been recorded. Exhibition Item of great visual appeal. [Purchased from Trevor Davis for £550 in 2005.]Cross Reference: WESTMORLAND, EXPRESS MAIL (Image)
