    1858/59: 1 d. rose-red, BH, tied by a superb impression of the Salisbury Trial code E numeral '683' cancellation with four pins in black to unaddressed blue envelope thought to be of proof status. Only two such blue 'proof' envelopes (unaddressed) franked with a 1 d. rose-red are recorded in the Karl Louis Card Index Register, the other 'proof' envelope was offered in the J.B. Seymour collection 1951 (together with an unaddressed Penny pink envelope) and again by Stanley Gibbons in 1974 (stating in error "to be the only example extant"). The Salisbury Trial obliteration was in use for short periods only in 1859 and 1871/72. In addition 1864: 1 d. rose-red, plate 131, block of four GB/HC cancelled with Salisbury Trial code E numeral '683' with the pins in the centre removed, some split perfs re-enforced, otherwise fine and scarce, especially so cancelling a multiple. It is assumed that the pins were removed in order to leave the letter contents undamaged. Cert. BPA (2005) for the unaddressed envelope.rnrnProvenance (for the envelope): Robson Lowe auction (May 27, 1981); Spink (May 11, 2006); Lady Mairi Bury (2010).
