1141 image1850 entire letter bearing blue-green 'SHIP LETTER/NEWCASTLE TYNE' mark on 1d red cover ex Germany, remarkable 27th April 1850 EL (some wear & a few closed tears but not unattractive) from 'Harburg' (near Hamburg) to Newcastle but franked by an uncancelled GB imperf 1d red (4 close margins) - probably put on by sender, a newly arrived school teacher, in the hope that the ship's captain would post it on arrival. The Captain probably wanted his fee for delivery to the P.O, so there is a mostly very fine rare blue-green 'SHIP LETTER/NEWCASTLE TYNE' (Rob S3, sole example recorded in this colour by Tarbeart) on the front, matching the VF c.d.s on the top flap & the 1d stamp was wasted, the letter being charged '6,' the full incoming Ship Letter rate for this route. The only example of this rare mark recorded other than the few black examples of 1869-71. Important exhibition item. (Image)
