4139 cover image1855/63: 1 s. bright yellow-green, a used example of vibrant colour with ample to large margins, used on 1859 registered cover to Cape Town, tied by CGH obliterator in black. Reverse with oval framed "CALEDON" despatch datestamp (Nov 9) in black and obverse with oval framed CAPE TOWN arrival (Nov 10) in red. A rare usage - the cover is overpaid 2 d. for the single ½ ounce rate plus registration; most likely caused either by haste or the stamp shortage that led to the "Woodblock" temporary issues. A rare and most attractive cover. Cert. Philatelic Foundation (1968). Note: Shipment of Stamps from London. Prior to this letter being mailed the last shipment of 1 d. and 4 d. adhesives were received in Cape Town on 14 April 1858 delivered by the R.M.S. Celt. 500'000 of each denomination were sent. The next shipment of 1'200'200 of the 1 d. and 1'440'000 of the 4 d. was dispatched on the "R.M.S. Norman" which arrived in Cape Town on 154 June 1860 but was misplaced in the Queen's warehouse at Cape Town Docks. The next shipment, also delivered on the "Norman" was accepted at Cape Town on 14 May 1861 (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4)
