4991 cover imageP&O via Suez - Overpaid Rate to United Kingdom 1873 (June 2):
Overpaid cover from Otago to London incorrectly prepaid 8 d. with
1864/71 2 d. vermilion and 6 d. blue tied by Otago "O" obliterator.
Reverse with Dunedin despatch cds (June 2). Fault to the 2 d.
adhesive but very rare - the Post Office notice in the "Timaru
Herald" erroneously broadcast a ½ ounce rate via Southampton at 8
d. on May 22, 23 and 26, 1873 editions stating the mail would leave
on June 1; a retraction was printed five days later in the same
Newspaper. However the sender of this cover evidently mailed the
item during the five day period prior to the retraction. (Image 1) (Image 2)

1866 cover from Christchurch to Hull endorsed "via Marseilles" and

was instead mailed from Christchurch (Oct 5), via Lyttleton (Oct
7), Panama and St. Thomas to Southampton (Dec 1) and Hull (Dec 2).
A scarce and most attractive cover - the "S.S. Seine" was
quarantined on arrival due to a Yellow Fever outbreak on board.
