1900 Embossed Postal Stationery
1901 (6 Feb.) 1d. red embossed private stationery envelope for 'hancock's lager' sent from Auckland to Wellington with Hancock stamp-like frame placed at upper-right where a stamp would normally be affixed, the Hancock 'frame' was probably intended to go around a stamp, but the embossing die was the wrong shape and would have covered too much wording; fine and unusual. Samuel CW.3a

Note: This cover is Ex Robert Samuel and is the one illustrated in his Postal Stationery catalogue.
