The combination of plate 10, a distinct Settle MC and the redirection makes this a particularly scarce and unusual cover. Cert B.P.A. (1998)

1879: Jackson 2 c. vermilion, Washington 3 c. green horizontal ...di più
1879: Jackson 2 c. vermilion, Washington 3 c. green horizontal pair
in combination with Taylor 5 c. blue horizontal pairs (2), used on
circa 1880 Whaling Mail envelope from Boston to St Helena, dated 20
June, cancelled by manuscript pen cancel, the first pair of Taylor
tied by BOSTON PAID 20 JUN' cds in black, addressed to ''Captain
A.R. Heyer, Bark Wanderer, St. Helena, Atlantic Ocean'', with ST.
HELENA JY 22 overwritten by ''110'' (c.) in red, for 11 d. postage
due for British share. Reverse, faint London transit cds the dated
indistinguishable. Stamps have faults and tone spots to edges.
Comes with an accompanying envelope originating in San Diego
franked with a tri-colour combination of US (4) at 27 c. rate sent
to Captain A. Heyer's wife Myra, Barque Wander, St Helena,
underpaid and taxed double rate of 2 s. 8 d. (single rate tax 1 s.
4 d.). Part of lower front missing but stamps mainly fine. Scarce
duo of Whaling Mail with heartfelt human interest story attached
(see note below) and the pair of covers combine extremely well.
Note: Postal charges from the U.S.A. to St. Helena where erratic at
this time, the official rate being 27 c. from 1877 to 1885, these
covers therefore covered that rate (the Boston cover was overpaid
by 1c.) The bark ''Wanderer'' was the last whaling vessel to be
built at the Mattapoisett ship yard. It was launched from New
Bedford, Massachusetts, in June 1878, thereafter on a four year
maiden voyage. Between 1878 and 1924 she carried out over twenty
whaling expeditions and went on to appear in the film ''Down to the
Sea in Ships'' in 1922 before being wrecked in 1924 on what was
intended to be her final journey - the last wooden ship to set sail
on a whaling voyage. In Febuary 1881 Myra, the wife of Captain
Andrew Heyer, died in childbirth on St. Helena and Captain Heyer
left the ship to care for his daughter, who was named Myra after
her mother. The Captain returned to Massachussetts from St. Helena
when young Myra was eight months old. Reference: Cameo Volume 18,

(65,68,73) 1861 3c rose Washington, 10c green Washington block ...di più
(65,68,73) 1861 3c rose Washington, 10c green Washington block of
four, and 2c black Jackson, all manuscript cancelled and tied
partially by “Adamsville, R.I. Nov. 26” (1866) markings on cover to
Pyramid, Long Creek, New South Wales. Red “New York Paid All Br.
Pkt Nov 28” exchange cds at left, 1866 London transit cds, and “40”
credit to Great Britain handstamp at right. Reverse with clear
“Sydney Ship Letter Feb 15 1867” and Long Creek, NSW receiving
backstamps.
The 45c franking pays the British mail rate via Marseilles for a ¼–½ oz. letter to New South Wales, in effect from January 1857 to January 1868. All stamps with small faults and light cover soiling, small backflap tears, though overall still nice in appearance. A rare and desirable destination usage, with a 10c 1861-68 Issue block paying the bulk of the 45c rate to Australia

(35) 1857-61 10c green Washington Type V tied by manuscript pen
cancel with "Ripon Wis. Dec 17 1862" CDS at left on cover to
Dunham, Canada East, manuscript "due 10" and "Old Style Stamp", the
latter also tying the stamp. Windson transit and Montreal receiving
backstamps. The stamp is defective, showing signs of having
potentially been reused from an earlier cover and sent well after
the August 1861 demonetization of the issue. A fine and scarce late
attempted use of a 10c demonetized stamp across the U.S.-Canada
border.

(68) 1861 10c green Washington used by manuscript pen stroke ...di più
(68) 1861 10c green Washington used by manuscript pen stroke cancel
on buff cover originating in the Red River Settlement (present day
Manitoba, Canada) on June 5, 1865 according to docketing at left
and sent via Pembina in the northern most tip of the Dakota
Territory to Freelton, Canada West.
The carriage fee from Red River to Pembina was 2c and paid in cash with the 10c stamp paying the postage for U.S.-Canada transit, original multi-page letter accompanies. A particularly fine and early example of a U.S. stamp used in pre-federation Canada for carriage via U.S. mails to a destination elsewhere in Canada
