Java |
 Two Folded
Letters Mailed from The British Post Office in Java, 1813 and 1815, the first was mailed in 1813 (datelined inside) from Batavia to Indromajoe, with intaglio receiver on front as well as boxed POST-PAID. The second was mailed in 1815 (datelined
inside) from Sourabaya to Grisse with intaglio receiver on front (including letters EEIC standing for English East India Company) plus boxed POST-PAID. These letters are in pristine condition for their age, and all of the postmarks (in red) are also
very fine and clean. A very rare duo, dated in the short period of British Occupation (1811-1816). Also includes a lovely red wax seal, apparently from 1792, depicting a very fancy sailing ship being the seal of the Dutch East Indies Company. (Scan a)

 1925
Combination Cover, from Shigatse to Calcutta, via Gyantse, franked with a 1/6 Trangka (shiny) which does not resemble Methuen's olive green, apple green or yellow green, it is much closer to, and consistent with the bottle green, listed by
Waterfall as having had "a very small printing in 1925". Waterfall only records usage from Lhasa though most printings were send to the 4 main post offices at Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Phari. Combination covers during this period are quite scarce.
The stamp is tied by a poor strike of Shigatse Type XI Native Fret, indistinct Gyantse Type B-4 and Calcutta receiver. Unusual forwarding handstamp reads "P.O. Gantse (Tibet)". Very fine and rare. (Scan a)
