The Bernard Faust Collection of U.S. 1863-68 Black Jack Issues continued...

Foreign Mails: Ceylon
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1610 c Image2c Black, E. Grill (87). Two, used with 24c Lilac (78), tied by halved-circle cork cancels with duplex "Milwaukee Wis. Jun. 30" (1869) circular datestamp on cover with embossed "B" initial (designed as a tree limb) to Jaffna, Ceylon, sender's directive "Via Southampton", red crayon "18" credit (no exchange office marking, possibly Chicago), red London Paid transit datestamp (Jul. 15, 1869), red crayon "1" (1p) Colonial rate, backstamped with red datestamps of Kandy (Aug. 23) and Jaffna (Aug. 26), receipt docketing "Ansd. Oct. 23d/69", pristine condition

VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING AND VERY RARE BLACK JACK GRILLED ISSUE COVER TO CEYLON, SENT BY BRITISH MAIL VIA SOUTHAMPTON.

This cover was carried on the Allan Line Austrian, which departed from Quebec on July 3, 1869, and arrived in Moville on July 12. It was then carried on Peninsular & Oriental steamers on the regular route from Southampton to Galle, Ceylon. After arriving at Kandy, it was carried further north to Jaffna.

Ex Metzger. With 1990 P.F. certificate which mentions negligible "small creases" in tops of 2c stamps and incorrectly describes a corner perf crease on 24c as "rejoined" -- these nitpicks only serve to emphasize the exceptionally fine condition of this cover. (Image)
