1861-68 Issues: Foreign Destinations continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2323 c Image1c Blue, 5c Red Brown, 30c Orange (63, 71, 75). 30c pair in a beautiful bright early shade, tied together by three strikes of large "Paid" grid cancel on 1862 blue folded letter to Port Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope, red "Boston Br. Pkt. Paid Oct. 21" circular datestamp on back, sender's directive "Via England p Persia", red crayon "52" credit crossed out and restated "56", large red crayon "2" for double British Colonial credit, red London transit datestamp (Nov. 1), stamps with a couple very minor faults, vertical bleached streak at the right crosses 30c

VERY FINE. A COLORFUL AND EXTREMELY RARE 1861 ISSUE COMBINATION FOR THE DOUBLE 33-CENT RATE TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Double-rate covers from the Howland correspondence are almost always paid with 30c and 3c pairs, rather than this three-color combination. This cover is the perfect mate to lot 2505 in our sale of the Bailar collection (Sale 1105). Both covers were carried by the same Cunarder (different sailings) to Edwin Howland in the Cape of Good Hope. They have the same composition of denominations; however, the 5c on the Bailar cover is the Buff shade, and on this cover the relatively new Red Brown printing was used.

2327 c Image24c Lilac (78). Used with two singles of 30c Orange (71), tied by segmented cork cancels and 1865 receipt docketing on cover to Christ Church, New Zealand, red "Boston Br. Pkt. Paid 8 Aug." (1865) backstamp and crayon "74/2" credit to Great Britain for double rate, red London transit and Christ Church arrival datestamps (Oct. 21), top 30c stamp with some minor perf flaws, slightly reduced at right and small edge nicks, Fine appearance and very scarce use to New Zealand at this time, also a most unusual 84c "double" rate, the rate by British Mail to New Zealand via Marseilles was 39c for up to one half ounce, double that would be 78c but French rate progressions were calculated by -1/4 ounce, so this cover must have weighed between -1/2 and -3/4 ounces, therefore the rate was calculated as the sum of double 12c British transit, double 16c transatlantic, double 5c U.S. and triple 6c French transit, for a total of 84c (Image)
