Kingston
1859 (19 July) entire to Mandeville Post Office, bearing 4d. rose-carmine with part strike of the scarce "A01" O3 double obliterator (complete left-hand strike and small part right-hand strike), rarely used as it required the employment of a datestamp, additionally, and most unusually, tied by "kingston/jamaica" K9B datestamp, arrival datestamp on reverse; two filing creases, one crossing the Kingston datestamp. A possibly unique combination of cancellations on cover with Type O3 used within 100 miles of Kingston being unrecorded by Foster. Photo
