Cuthbert Brothers Local Post: 1895 (Sep 18) envelope to Newtown Barracks bearing the "Caye / Service / 3 cents" local issue tied by straight-line "CUTHBERT BROS." h.s. with datestamp adjacent, envelope creases clear of the stamp, very rare with only around a dozen covers known.
Note: Sydney Cuthbert, owner of Belize merchants Cuthbert Bros., commuted daily by steam yacht from his house on St. Georges Cay, a small island just inside the reef in the Bay of Belize. Finding that friends increasingly asked him to carry mail to and from the island, he decided to subsidise his trips charging 3c to carry a letter, printing his primitive label for the purpose. (Image)
