 POSTAL HISTORY: 1865 entire letter headed "Alofi/Febr 17 65" and signed "WG Lawes" carried per favor by a ship's captain to "Revd H
Nisbet/Malua" in Samoa, multiple folds & several repaired minor peripheral tears, very fragile but entirely legible. Ex Tony Eastgate. A great Pacific Islands rarity. William George Lawes was one of the most prominent missionaries in the South West
Pacific. He was posted to Savage Island (Niue), arriving in 1865. In 1874, he & his wife became the first permanent white settlers in Papua, where he started 11 mission stations & produced the first book in a Papuan language. Rev Henry Nisbet arrived
in Samoa in 1841 and, apart from two years in the New Hebrides, remained there until his death in 1879. (Image1) (Image2)

 BOOKLETS: 1940 4/8d black/green with single staple SG B1, complete with one marginal example each of the KGVI Pictorials ½d to 2/6d
from the left-hand side of the sheets so inserted face-up, a couple of trivial marks on the cover but the staple with very little rust & unusually there is no hinge residue on the reverse, very fine wax interleaving, Cat £3250. One of the scarcest
booklets of the KGVI period, and one of the finest examples we have seen. Significantly finer than David MurrayBrown's example that sold at our auction of 7.12.2023 for $2280 (Sale 254 Lot 3812). (Image1) (Image2)

 1922 defective fragment of a letter (written on both sides) headed "Pitcairn Island/Oct 15 1922" beginning "dear Mrs Bliss/..."
with the stampless envelope endorsed "For Mrs Gerald D Bliss/with love & best wishes/from/Mrs Walter Fisher Young", two light vertical folds & opened a little roughly at right. Rare forerunner: at this time, there was no formal postal service to or
from Pitcairn, the islanders relying on the captains of passing ships to transport their mail. Canal Zone posrmaster, Gerald Bliss and his wife Mabelle Anna Hart Bliss acted as agents for the Pitcairners between 1920 & 1934, including facilitating
the movement of mail to & from the island. In 2002, a Pitcairn stamp issue paid tribute to the contributions of Bliss. (Image1)

of the two-line 'POSTED AT PITCAIRN ISLAND/NO STAMPS AVAILABLE.' cachet SG C3 in violet (Cat £1800 on cover), a couple of minor imperfections still remarkably fine for this period. The handwriting is believed to be that of David Young, who was the
island schoolteacher. (Image1)

 1941 (Sep 21) social cover with KGVI Pictorials 6d 'Bounty' & 1/- Island and bold R cachet, to Hobart (backstamp of 23OC41) where
censored, redirected to Burnie but posted in a letterbox instead of being handed to a PO clerk so endorsed "Officially registered posted in letter box" & taxed 5d which was paid on arrival with irregular usage of Queen Mother 1d green & 4d Koala in
lieu of Postage Dues & tied by superb 'BURNIE/27OC41/TASMANIA' cds, minor faults but still attractive. A wonderful Pitcairn usage, the rate & route being an enigma: from Pitcairn the only rate that makes sense is carriage per Pan Am flying boat from
Noumea (Suva, Fiji was not added as a stop until November 1941), but there is no airmail label or endorsement. If the cover had been reposted at North Hobart (or at the GPO), there would have been no additional postage. By posting in the letterbox,
5d was assessed for 2d domestic postage plus 3d registration. (Image1) (Image2)

stated only two recorded & this is the new LRD), minor blemishes. There was no example in David Murray-Brown's collection. Interestingly, Little has a consolidated list of such labels under 'New Zealand', where he says DDA 196 was used at Rarotonga
(??). The Sanitarium (or SAN), known today as the Sydney Adventist Hospital, is owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. (Image1)
