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

Foreign Mails: Germany
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1524 c Image2c Black (73). Pair with choice centering, used with 24c Gray (78b), tied by red circle of wedges cancels with matching "New York Paid Sep. 22" (1866) circular datestamp and red "Supplementary Mail" Type A handstamp on cover to Bavaria, Germany, red "12" credit for Bremen Mail rate (15c rate overpaid), blue "America/Uber Bremen/Franco" handstamp, receiving backstamp

VERY FINE. A RARE BLACK JACK COVER TO BAVARIA WITH THE STAMPS TIED BY THE SUPPLEMENTARY MAIL TYPE A HANDSTAMP.

Supplementary Mail service provided for special handling of letters received after the mails for a scheduled steamer departure had closed. For a fee equivalent to the postage, a Supplementary Mail letter would be taken on board a ship at the docks just prior to sailing. It is rare used on a Black Jack cover. In this case the fee was either paid in cash, and the 28c in postage overpaid the 15c rate via Bremen-Hamburg Mail, or the double rate for Supplementary Mail was underpaid 2c.

Ex Allen (illustrated and described in Lane book on pp. 52-53) and Dr. Rorke (Image)
