Overland via Southampton 1858 (July 10): Cover from Adelaide, South Australia to Shrewsbury, England bearing 1858 South Australia 1 s. orange, imperforate with three ample margins and touched at right, neatly cancelled by the Adelaide datestamp in blue leaving the Queen’s profile clear and prepaying 1 s. for a double rate 1 ounce ship letter to England.

Many of the great South Australian collections including Napier, Frenkle, Beresford etc. did not posses an example on letter, the adhesive used just three weeks after the date of issue.

Overland via Southampton 1864 (Sept 26): Cover from Adelaide, South Australia to Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA bearing South Australia 1864 rouletted 2 d. bright vermillion, 6 d. greenish blue and 6 d. dull ultramarine (corner faults) cancelled by Adelaide datestamp and prepaying 1 s. 2 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter to the United States. Postal markings include “8” (pence) manuscript in red credit to the USA and re-rated to “16 CENTS” with handstamp in red for Transatlantic shipment via an American packet. “CHICAGO Am. PKT/ 5” denoting 5 cents inland postage to be paid by the recipient and further rerated with Depreciated Currency “11 / US NOTES” at Chicago if the addressee was paying in United States of America banknotes instead of coins. A fine and unique cover. Note: During the American Civil War from 1861-1865, inflation caused banknote currency to rapidly devalue, and unpaid letters were being paid with these inflationary notes. In March 1863, the Postmaster General implemented a premium system if the recipients paid by banknotes instead of coins, leading to a period of what is called “fractional / depreciated currency”. For almost two years, dual rating handstamps were applied until May 1865. Detailed notes on United States Depreciated Currency are included with this lot. The only Depreciated Currency cover recorded on mail from the Australian Colonies. Route - Australasian Steam Navigation Co: Departed Adelaide 27 Sept 1864 per “Rangatira” to King George’s Sound. P&O Line: Departed King George’s Sound (3 Oct) per “Northam” to Galle (17 Oct); “Nubia” (24 Oct) to Suez; overland to Alexandria; “Baroda” (8 Nov) via Malta (11 Nov) to Southampton; by rail via London (21 Sept) to Liverpool.
