POSTAL HISTORY: 1912 (Feb 4) Italian official envelope with '[arms]/UFFICIO POSTELTELEGRAFICO/DI AGORDAT' imprint on the flap, to "Bari/Italy" with Camels 1m & 2m pair tied by two of three very fine strikes of the rare 'SABDERAT/4FE912/...' cds in blue, the reverse with transits of 'KASSALA/5FEB12/...' & 'WADI-HALFA...'., light central vertical fold and minor peripheral defects with a few tears repaired with archival tape. An extremely rare and desirable cover (Proud rated 6000pts). Ex John Gibson.
Sabderat is located in North-West Ethiopia, 28km from the Sudan border, which is east of Kassala. Ted Proud states that Sabderat (1) opened 9.3.1910 as a Telegraph Office only; upgrading to PO is not recorded. The office apparently closed in 1922. Agordat is situated in Eritrea which was colonised by Italy in 1889. It is a small inland town that was occupied by the Italians from 1893. Sabderat is 140km almost due west of Agordat. Today, both are within modern Eritrea. (Image1)
