1867/68: Rivadavia 5 c. vermilion, a used example on 1868 cover from Buenos Aires to Le Havre, France endorsed "pr. Steamer Flamsteed", tied by ten barred obliterator in black and Buenos Aires cds (Nov 26) in combination with Great Britain 1865/67 4 d. vermilion pl. 10 horizontal pair similarly tied. Carried on the Liverpool Brazil & River Plate Steam Navigation Co. "Flamsteed" to Liverpool (Jan 4, 1869), thence via London where struck with "GB /1F 60 c." accountancy marking in black. Reverse with both framed "Liverpool / Ship" and "Ship Letter / London" cds (Jan 5) in red. Charged with handstruck '10' décimes due in Calais in black on the following day. A delightful and most unusual cover. Cert. BPA (2004).rnrnNote: The cover was intended to be despatched by Royal Mail through the British Post Office in Buenos Aires and was accordingly franked with 8d. For reasons unknown, the sender failed to mail the cover at British P.O. in time and went to the Argentian P.O. where he paid the 5 centavos Argentinian Inland postage. The RMSP ship had left, thence posted on the private vessel 'Flamsteed' and was, therefore, treated as a Ship Letter. For this reason the British 8d. postage already paid by the two 4d. adhesive stamps were not accepted and the full postage of 10 decimes (= 10 Pence), as from 1 January 1866, was collected from the recipient on delivery in France. The Anglo-French accountancy marking indicates that Britain was granted 1 Franc 60 c. from France (1s. 4d.) per 30 grams weight of mail (or approx. 5d. for this cover assuming the cover was not exceeding 10 grams weight). Corinphila would like to thank Olivier Villard (Argentina) for his kind assistance in explaining the postal handling of this unusual cover.1 / 1Ausruf : 1.000 CHFZuschlag : 1.100 CHFLosnr. : 7047 Neufundland

Reverse with Maîche transit cds and partial St. Maurice arrival datestamp. The Rayon II is touched at top, the Rayon I light blue is a splendid copy from the very rare 'missglückter Stein', the cover with some wear, nevertheless a most interesting and scarce usage. Cert. Kimmel (2000) SBK = CHF 7'000.rnNote: The sender paid the cover correctly for the third rayon within Switzerland but neglected that such a part payment was not accepted in the January 1850 postal treaty with France. The cover was found by the French postal authorities to have in addition double weight with "2 ports" noted on top of the cover. The sender therefore had to pay '8' décimes upon receipt as if the cover was sent without any adhesives. rnReference: Noted in Blaickner - Schweizer Auslandsfrankaturen zur Zeit der Rayon-Marken (1850-1854) as one of five known items send in the January 1850 rate which was valid until the end of 1851, when the new Swiss Franc was introduced.

Buchsbayew (2021).rnNote: After 1863, the adhesives on inland mail and mail abroad were no more cancelled with dotted numeral marks but by circular datestamps. In very rare cases when the datestamp was lost or damaged, a manuscript note of the former number of the numeral obliterator was used to cancel the adhesives. After 28 days this cover had crossed the Black Sea, and was given to the French PO in Constantinople from where it made its way to Marseille. Upon arrival the receiver had to pay 60 centimes, the rate for unpaid mail from the Levant to France, introduced just nine days before.rnProvenance: Collection Gordey A.

The 25 rp. franking and the PD handstamp have therefore applied erroneously thinking that the GPU rate was also valid to the French P.O. in Alexandretta. However at that time point, the bilateral contracts where still in force with 90 centimes for an unpaid letter to a French P.O. in the Levant.
