907 c image1873 cover with illustrated advertising for S Hoffnung & Co Merchants (Sydney) in violet on the reverse, to Maryborough with NSW Diadems 3d yellow-green x2 tied by separate very fine strikes of the chamfered-boxed 'LOOSE SHIP LETTER' h/s, 'MARYBOROUGH/OC31/1873/QUEENSLAND' cds alongside, some mostly minor toning & the flap damaged. It is presumed that the cover originated from Sydney & it is expected that the Loose Ship Letter markings were applied at Brisbane. However, the absence of backstamps throws up the possibility that the handstamp was applied on arrival. That would suggest transfer of the h/s from Brisbane to Maryborough or, possibly, that this was a generic type issued to multiple ports. Sigmond Hoffnung, a Jewish merchant of Polish descent, arrived in Sydney in 1852 where he was active in Jewish community matters including the building of Sydney's Great Synagogue. In 1870, the firm moved into new premises (illustrated on the back of this cover) & in 1871, opened a branch in Brisbane. The addressee, Henry Walker, migrated from England in 1868 and became prominent in local affairs in Maryborough, including as a member of the Anglican Synod. Ex Dale Forster.

An interesting cover. Ex Dale Forster, who believes this is the only recorded usage of a 19th century Loose Ship Letter marking at Bowen. However, the placement of the h/s close to the Brisbane cds suggests it may have been applied on arrival.

Ex Dale Forster. [Believed only one other example exists. Based on the trailing '...N' on the partial cds, Dale Forster concluded that the h/s was applied at Rockhampton. Given that coastal ships would have called at Townsville before reaching Rockhampton - some 700km further SE - we consider that to be highly unlikely] See the illustration above Lot 915.
