| '1869' Potchefstroom’ postal stationery envelope. Brownish buff, fibrous envelope (150 x 95mm) bearing an impression of the POTCHEFSTROOM / Z.A.R. / 6d / 69 / ZUID AFRIKA 24mm single circle datestamp (applied inverted relative to the flap) with ‘6d’ inserted in black manuscript. The breaks in the outline and dent at top indicate the datestamp is genuine, though was probably backdated and applied after the British Occupation in 1877 (see article by Drysdall and Chilton in TP 106 May 1993). Very fine and scarce. |
