    Cyprus 1864 (Nov. 2): Entire letter from Larnaca to Alexandria bearing pair 1864 Arms 10 s. blue perf. 9½, good perforations and centering, tied by indistinct straight-line "LARNACA 2. NOV" datestamp (Tranmer fig. 1) in black, reverse with "ALEXANDRIEN 8 / 11" arrival cds. Light horizontal file fold well away from the adhesives not distracting from this interesting usage, the franking presenting the pre-1866 port-to-port rate. An appealing early franked usage from this rare Office. Cert. Goller (2022). Provenance: Spink, London, Dec 2008, lot 659.
