7c Dark Green, State (O61). Deep shade, tied by purple quartered cork もっと見る
7c Dark Green, State (O61). Deep shade, tied by purple quartered cork cancel, matching "Washington D.C. Jun. 13 6P.M. 1878" circular datestamp on legal-size cover with "United States Consulate General Shanghai" imprint and "U.S. Consulate General, Shanghai, China" two-line ribbon-marker backstamp, addressed to John G. Thompson, Sergeant-at-Arms in the House of Representatives, red "DEPARTMENT OF STATE" straightline handstamp, part of backflap removed (not affecting backstamp), minor stains and small piece out of top which has been crudely repaired (deserving of some minor but expert restoration) AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF AN OFFICIAL STAMP ON MAIL ORIGINATING FROM THE UNITED STATES CONSULATE IN SHANGHAI, CHINA. The cover offered here was carried by diplomatic pouch from the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai to the Department of State in Washington D.C., where it was posted to Thompson at the House of Representatives. The single rate for mail addressed within the city limits was 2c; therefore, this is evidently overpaid 1c for a triple rate (1 to 11/2 oz.). The purple Washington D.C. datestamp and small quartered cork cancel are found on other covers from this period in 1878. Diplomatic mail from the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai is rare in any form, but the use of an Official stamp--in this case, the 7c State Department—is truly remarkable. Three other Official stamps on covers from the U.S. Legation in Peking are reported in the Markovits sale catalogue. Ex Starnes and "Magnolia".
