1155 cover image1879: Jackson 2 c. vermilion, Washington 3 c. green horizontal pair in combination with Taylor 5 c. blue horizontal pairs (2), used on circa 1880 Whaling Mail envelope from Boston to St Helena, dated 20 June, cancelled by manuscript pen cancel, the first pair of Taylor tied by BOSTON PAID 20 JUN' cds in black, addressed to ''Captain A.R. Heyer, Bark Wanderer, St. Helena, Atlantic Ocean'', with ST. HELENA JY 22 overwritten by ''110'' (c.) in red, for 11 d. postage due for British share. Reverse, faint London transit cds the dated indistinguishable. Stamps have faults and tone spots to edges. Comes with an accompanying envelope originating in San Diego franked with a tri-colour combination of US (4) at 27 c. rate sent to Captain A. Heyer's wife Myra, Barque Wander, St Helena, underpaid and taxed double rate of 2 s. 8 d. (single rate tax 1 s. 4 d.). Part of lower front missing but stamps mainly fine. Scarce duo of Whaling Mail with heartfelt human interest story attached (see note below) and the pair of covers combine extremely well. Note: Postal charges from the U.S.A. to St. Helena where erratic at this time, the official rate being 27 c. from 1877 to 1885, these covers therefore covered that rate (the Boston cover was overpaid by 1c.) The bark ''Wanderer'' was the last whaling vessel to be built at the Mattapoisett ship yard. It was launched from New Bedford, Massachusetts, in June 1878, thereafter on a four year maiden voyage. Between 1878 and 1924 she carried out over twenty whaling expeditions and went on to appear in the film ''Down to the Sea in Ships'' in 1922 before being wrecked in 1924 on what was intended to be her final journey - the last wooden ship to set sail on a whaling voyage. In Febuary 1881 Myra, the wife of Captain Andrew Heyer, died in childbirth on St. Helena and Captain Heyer left the ship to care for his daughter, who was named Myra after her mother. The Captain returned to Massachussetts from St. Helena when young Myra was eight months old. Reference: Cameo Volume 18, Number 3, Whole Number 102, October 2017, illustrated pg. 220.

1156 cover image1938/44: United States WWII Airmail to Lebanon and Europe. Lot of 25 airmail covers, franked with a variety of US airmail and definitive issues of the period, showing a broad range of rates and combinations. 23 covers addressed to Beirut, Lebanon, plus 1 to Germany and 1 to Czechoslovakia. Nearly all covers show wartime censor markings or resealing labels, including US and foreign censor handstamps/tapes. Clear strikes of Boston, Chicago, Berwyn, New York and Jackson Hieghts and other US postmarks. Strong representation of the 1938 Transatlantic Clipper issue (10 ¢. & 25 ¢.). Several covers show mixed franking with definitives or commemoratives. Carried during the crucial WWII years when transatlantic and Middle East airmail routes were disrupted, rerouted, or censored. Covers to Lebanon reflect the shifting control of the French Mandate (Vichy / Free French), adding further postal-historical significance. Overall good to fine, typical flaws and opening wear. An appealing group for the collector of WWII postal history, US airmail usages, or Middle East destinations. The Lebanon correspondence, with varied censoring and frankings, provides excellent material for study or exhibit (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5) (Image 6) (Image 7) (Image 8) (Image 9) (Image 10) (Image 11) (Image 12) (Image 13) (Image 14) (Image 15) (Image 16) (Image 17) (Image 18) (Image 19) (Image 20) (Image 21) (Image 22) (Image 23) (Image 24) (Image 25)
