Trinidad
1847 (16 April) "Lady McLeod"
(5c.) blue with good margins all round and of superb colour, unused with part original gum; small patch of browned gum at right which in no way detracts from the superb appearance. An extremely rare stamp, particularly in such fine condition. R.P.S. Certificate (1961). S.G. 1, £28,000. Photo

Note: The steamship "Lady McLeod" plied between Port of Spain and San Fernando carrying passengers, freight and mail. In April 1847 the owner, David Bryce, made a stamp available so that those who wished to send letters were able to prepay the charge for carrying them on board his ship
