Gold Coast SG 27 Cover 1899 registered postal stationery envelope from Accra to England with locally made boxed datestamp

Stock Code: P256000825

1899 (AP 5) 2d blue registered p/s envelope, 'Rosser, Jones' correspondence, addressed to Wolverhampton and uprated with 1898-1902 1d dull mauve and rose, tied by a very fine strike of the short-lived locally made boxed ds of Accra (Proud type KD4), with Accra cds below and Liverpool transit oval ds at left. Backstamped with Wolverhampton arrival cds (AP 25) and recipient's oval ds in violet. A lovely cover, very scarce with such a fine strike of the boxed ds. [The locally made datestamp was in use from December 1898 to February 1901, although it appears to have deteriorated quite quickly as impressions from mid-1899 onwards are poorly struck and are often lacking a full date.]
