 Pair of items incl. early wax seal of the District Attorney/Secretary, of a type used until 1795 and again from 1803–06, depicting a sailing ship of the Dutch East India Company and retaining part of its inscription in High Dutch. A
similar seal was offered in the David Feldman “Lady Hope” Sale, 19 November 2003, Lot 20019. Accompanied by an attractive 1896 cheque for £100 10s drawn on a Cape of Good Hope bank, bearing two 1864 1-shilling stamps with Official cancellations. An
unusual and evocative social-philately pairing, linking the Cape’s Dutch colonial administration with its later nineteenth-century commercial and fiscal history. (Image 1)

correspondence, offering valuable historical context. Some toning consistent with age is present; nevertheless, a scarce and desirable pre-handstamp incoming cover, seldom encountered in such complete form. (Image 1)

 1850s–1870s, Stampless Official Post Office correspondence group of 6 covers, a scarce and highly interesting group addressed to the Postmaster at Cape Town, originating from various offices including Villiersdorp, Cape Town, Port
Beaufort, and Prince Albert. The group features a range of uncommon post offices and handstamps, offering valuable insight into internal postal administration. Included is a notable money letter (1855) sent from Prince Albert to the Acting Postmaster
General at Cape Town, as well as an 1872 cover from Port Beaufort to Cape Town. These items represent official inter-departmental communications, transmitted free of charge and handstamped without adhesive postage, as per postal regulations governing
official correspondence. A rare and cohesive group of clear postal-historical importance and seldom encountered in such a concentrated form. Condition generally fine to very fine. (Image 1)
