2563   imageRARE ENCIRCLED "FREE/P/[laurel leaves]" MARK (EARLIEST RECORDED DATE OF USE) IN BROWN-BLACK INK: 14/16 Dec. 1789 E Franked by the 20-year-old “[Lord] Hay” (William Hay, 1772-1819, 7 Earl of Errol from 1798) with “DONCASTER” straight-line mark on the flap and a fine rare brown-black strike of John Palmer’s encircled “FREE/P/[laurel leaves]” mark (Galland LF4P, EKD of only 10 recorded in this colour) nicely placed on the front. The filing note reveals that it was sent by the Curate of the small village of “Marr”! Lord Hay saved the impecunious curate of Marr 1s-0d (2 sheets of paper at 6d).

2564   imageORIGIN OF LONDON's "0"-CODE CROWN-ON-TOP "FREE" DS - THE GENUINE UNCODED/"+"-CODES SHOWING FRAME BREAKS: 10 Oct. to 4 Nov. 1839 strikes (all uncoded except for four "+"-code 29 Oct.-4 Nov. examples) of this late-usage crown-on-top "FREE" ds, that was subsequently (posthumously, probably in 1852) used outside the P.O. to enhance free front collections with a special non-postal "0" code. This remarkable group shows the outer-frame damage that links this mark to the "0"-codes; 10 Oct. 1839 pair of fronts with the complete outer-rim, 19 Oct. 1839 pair of fronts showing only the 2 o'clock rim break, plus 22-29 Oct. 1839 fronts (5) with the 2 & 10 o'clock breaks, and 31 Oct. - 4 Nov. 1839 fronts (3) + rare env. all showing the "+"-code type which have the final 3-rim-breaks (as per all the "0"-code - 'posthumous' - usages). Remarkable story covering less than a month; see the John Colton section in the Galland book. (1 cover + 12 fronts) Cross Reference: LONDON POSTAL HISTORY (Image)
