A Id postal stationery wrapper from Trinidad sent to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela on the
“Engineer” of the Harrison Line. It was cancelled in Port of Spain on 12th July 1894?
A registered envelope, size F, impressed with 2d Edwardian head and a Id black and red
Britannia paying the rate to Surinam, Dutch Guiana. This underpaid the Vi oz. U.P.U rate so the Post
Office had some excuse for sending it to India, for which the Imperial V2 oz. rate was Id. It was posted
on 24th September 1904, was back stamped by a Sea Post Office en route to India on 22nd October, was
returned to London on an unclear date in November, and finally back stam ped in Param aribo w ith a
completely illegible date.
