Losnr. : 1686 Grossbritannien
1848: Embossed 1 s. green, Die 1, a horizontal with touched to good margins all round, used on 1854 cover from Carlisle to Philadelphia tied by '165' numeral obliterators in black. Endorsed 'p. Atlantic' (Collins Line) with manuscript date below 'Dec 16 / 54', the Steamer returned to Port after leaving Liverpool on that date to repair a broken rudder, eventual sailing two days later. Struck with correct "42 / CENTS" in red for US credit and, in error, with "48 / CENTS / PHILADELPHIA" (Jan 1, 1855). Backstamped at Carlisle (Dec 15) and Liverpool on the same day. A few cover imperfections but unusual.Ausruf : 200 CHFZuschlag : 200 CHF
