Auction 309-320 - Great Britain 1840–1841 Europe & Overseas - Day 5

1865-67: 3 d. rose, a vertical right wing marginal strip of five, overall fine adhesives, and a single example of Penny Red with three horizontal creases and tear, all tied by "LONDON FE 2 72 / 106" duplex datestamps, on entire letter to Hongkong, reverse with arrival cds (March 15, 1872). An interesting unusual franking to pay the 1s 3d rate plus late fee via Marseilles or via Brindisi in the January 1872 rate, alternatively a late wrong usage of the 1s 4d rate up to 1871.
