Postmark 30


Description - PM type 30 (JC) type 23 (RF) duplex with quite intricate design right side – vertical oval of thicker bars and framed diamond latticed inset – Cooper illustrates (p.69) numeral 1 & 16 examples. Renouf correctly wonders in my view why numbers between 1-16 have not come to light.

The few examples found date (1) June 1861, and (16) 1854 – they may not be directly related examples in my view. Considered extremely rare.
