H.A. Asger & Esmail: 1875 stampless envelope to Iran bearing a fine strike of the bilingual, double-oval "h.a.asger & h.esmail/hong kong" forwarding agents handstamp, with the original contents. A very fine example of this scarce mail, very few such covers recorded. Photo

H.A. Esmail & Co were merchants at 28 Peel Street. We have records of only three of these covers, all from the same correspondence
