RARE "L" OVERPRINT TYPESET 2as ON TWICE-POSTED COVER FRONT TO MENGO & KOKI; Late 1897/early 1898 front (minor edge-faults) originally sent to Rev. Pike at "Mengo" (in the hand of Rev. Martin Hall) and re-used (a not infrequent occurrence in Uganda at this date when all paper was often in very short supply) to send a letter (presumably from Mengo) to "R.H. Leakey Esq., C.M.S., Koki" (in the hand of Rev. G.K. Baskerville); one of these journeys required the use of a Typeset 2a black with "L" overprint (SG71) which has been neatly cut square and has been cancelled by a blue crayon "X". (It is possible that a stamp for the second journey was originally placed on the reverse of the envelope, or it may have been sent by other means.) Only around 10 "L" overprint covers/fronts are known, making them even rarer than the Type-Written Missionary covers! This redirected example is particularly interesting. [Ex Dunstan.] Photo |

RARE INTERNAL USE OF TYPESET 3as (SMALL "O" VARIETY) ON COVER WITH EARLY "KAMPALA" C.D.S.; 26 Nov. 1898 env. (addressee's name - "Stanley Tomkins, Esq." - partly cut out) from somewhere up-country (hence the 3as rate for a letter swent between districts; perhaps ex Masindi, which did not have a c.d.s. until 1st Dec.?) to "Kampala", franked by rare small "O" Typeset 3as (SG57a) tied by blue crayon "X" of office of posting, and by mostly fine "KAMPALA" c.d.s. (first week of usage and rare on a commercial cover so early). Tomkins was a 2nd Class Assistant of the Uganda Protectorate and stationed at Luba's. Rare thus. [Ex Dunstan.] Photo |

RARE FIRST DAY COVER OF THE "MASINDI" DATESTAMP WITH "SET" OF "L"-OVERPRINT TYPESET ISSUES; Remarkable 1 Dec. 1898 small env. endorsed "Local" addressed to "Geo. Wilson Esqr., Asst.

(Major Charles Price, Commander of the Unyoro District); franked by fine "L" overprint 1a, 3as, 4as, 8as & 1r (SG70, 72, 73, 74 & 75; latter rare and with 4 good margins - wide wing-margin at right), all tied by superb "MASINDI" c.d.s.'s, and all also cancelled with Price's manuscript "C.H.U.P.". This appears to be a unique souvenir of the introduction of the new postmark, sent between two senior officials both very much involved in the running of the postal service in Uganda. This usage of the "L" higher values is almost unique on cover. Photo |

(some gum-stains at each end) are all initialled "C.H.U.P.", and the cover is accompanied by a 16 May 1927 letter (no env.) written and signed by Price himself, giving the cover to his brother Cyril as a Birthday present! The letter explains a good deal of the background to the cover, and the fact that Price destroyed unused stocks of the stamps at Masindi at the time. Unique! (2 items). Photo |

There are signs of damp damage inside the envelope; could this letter have been involved in a shipwreck en route from/to Zanzibar? Room for further research. An attractive and unusual item.
