INDIA 1854 (COVER) SG2
1854 (6 Oct) cover from Samulcottah to Secunderabad, endorsed 'Paid', franked by 1854-55 ½a blue, die I, good margins and showing worn impression with a clear retouch to the first arch left, tied by diamond of dots in brown. Faint strike of red 'SAMULCOTA/Paid' boxed despatch H/S (Hammond Giles type 2) on reverse, with office name 'Samulcottah' and date '6 October 1854' in M/S. Legible Secunderabad boxed red arrival ds on face (but date unclear). The cover with light vertical bend and just a little toned, still fine and very neat. An exceptionally early usage, in the first week of issue, and desirable thus.

INDIA 1855 (COVER) SG4
1855 (21 May) small native cover from Bangalore to Madras, franked by 1854 ½a deep blue (towards indigo), die I, pos. A55, good to large margins, indistinctly cancelled. Good range of backstamps, with red boxed despatch (M/S date) and arrival ds, boxed 'AM' in black, and 'Rg House/No. 2' in blue. The stamp shows distinct trace of a 'double print' (or doubled transfer ?) and most unusual thus.
