1893 (AU 10) printed 'PARCEL POST. INSURED PARCEL. / CERTIFICATE OF POSTING' (210 x 198mm), addressed to the shipping agents Ross & Ash, London, with an insured value of £3. The fee of 6d paid by 1892 ½d on 4d deep brown block of six (3x2, one with variety Small 'A') and two strips three, one strip with SURCHARGE DOUBLE (RED + BLACK), all tied by individual fine to very fine strikes of 'BARBADOS / PARCEL POST' cds. A couple of reinforced filing folds (away from stamps) still an extraordinary and wonderful survival. A superb exhibition piece, surely one of the finest commercial usages of the red and black surcharge possible. Ex Hurlock (Harmers 16 Jun 1958, lot 602) and 'Olive Blossom' (RL Basel 25 Nov 1981, lot 2138).
