1844: Entire letter written by Mrs. E. C.

Reverse with straight line SHIP LETTER in black and rated '8' pence on receipt for a Ship Letter, London cds in red (Oct 14) alongside. Front with 'Bedford' arrival cds in black.

1854: 4 d. blue, the famous INVERTED SWAN variety, technically an ‘Inverted Frame’, a superlative used example with four large margins all round, extremely lightly cancelled for this rarity, with the only fault being an unapparent 3mm. paper break near the centre of the stamp best viewed under ultra-violet light and perhaps a vertical bend, otherwise this stamp can be listed as one of, or perhaps, the finest known example as far as appearance is concerned. Full listing of how this variety occurred and other relevant information of this error is included with the lot and more infomation is to be found in L. N. and M.
