Cat No:Bahamas

1916 Bahamas Special Delivery Cover, 1c KGV postal stationery cover, uprated with 2c Admiral and affixed with 5d overprinted SPECIAL DELIVERY issue of the Bahamas. Postmarked with Winnipeg machine cancel, addressed to Nassau, Bahamas, and bearing NOV.08.1916 arrival cds on front and back. In mid-1916, 600 5d Special Delivery overprinted stamps of the Bahamas were provided to post offices in Ottawa, Toronto, Westmount, and Winnipeg. These stamps were to be applied to letters destined for the Bahamas and cancelled by the Canadian postal clerks at dispatch. This process was ordered stopped in late 1916, after which examples are normally found cancelled on arrival in Nassau. Covers cancelled at one of the Canadian post offices prior to December 16, 1916 are scarce thus and appear infrequently. A few hinge remnants on back mentioned "for the record", and in no way detract from such an elusive cover from this unusual period of Canadian postal history. (Image)
