Lot 1977

Lot 1977
INCOMING MAIL. 25 Cent nr. 26H, twee ex. op envelop van Rotterdam 3-7-1876 naar een matroos 3e klasse op het stoomschip Zilveren Kruis te 'kuraCou of elders', via Engeland naar Curaçao 5-8-1876. Het tarief van 50 cent is voor een brief van 0-15 gr. correct tussen 16-2-1876 en 1-5-1877 (zie: HPN tarieflijst D 16, TAR-D-47, opmerking f). Toch zijn de zegels met pen doorgehaald (waar, wanneer en door wie?), waarnaast een T is afgestempeld en met blauw potlood 85 is geschreven, en tevens met pen nog een portnotitie. Ons zijn drie van dergelijke brieven bekend. Post naar Curaçao in die tijd is zeer zeldzaam! Info bijgesloten. Two copies of 25 cent to make up the rate of 50 cent for letters between 0-15 grams (from 16 Feb 1876 until 1 May 1877) on cover from Rotterdam 3 July 1876 to a sailor 3rd class on the steamship Zilveren Kruis at Curaçao or somewhere else, arrival pmk 5 Aug 1876. However a line has been drawn over the stamps with a pen (where, when and by who?), obviously because of insufficiently paid postage. See: Sven Påhlman, Postal Routes... (2021), Table 4.12, p.85 Information enclosed
Starting price: € 500,00
