Australia / Re: Quarantine Sydney 1855 JUNO
« on: Monday 05 December 22 10:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi I though you might enjoythis:
Also appreciate any info on its sailings.
1856 (Jan 18) flapless cover from England to "Lieut GB Headley RN/HM Ship Juno/Sydney ..." on the Australian Station with 2d blue x3 (one with trimmed perfs at base) paying a 3 oz letter rate as per 10 January 1840 Uniform Penny Postage rate.
tied by indistinct numeral cancels, 'BRIDLINGTON' (Yorkshire) despatch and Sydney 'SHIP-LETTER/MY 4' arrival b/s , largely very fine strike of the small British 'd1' accountancy h/s in red on face.
Because it was addressed to an officer, the sender was not entitled to the 1d military concession. Carried as a packet letter with the 1d due to NSW (as compared to 3d for private ship letters) shown by the accountancy marking.
