Stock Code: P223003396

1905 (SE 4) registered cover (embossed Orange River Colony crest on flap) from Bloemfontein to Attorney General's Office, Cape Town, franked by 1903-04 KEVII short set of 8 to 1s, tied by individual fine to very strikes of "BRITISH ASSN / ORC" cds (additional strike alongside), with "WESTERN T.P.O. / R.L.S." cds (SP 6) on reverse. Slight creasing and tiny traces of perf toning, still a delightful and very rare cover. [N.B. The British Association for the Advancement of Science visited Bloemfontein in 1905. A special Post Office was opened in the Raadzaal (Parliament Buildings) for the duration of the visit (2-4 September), with most business apparently taking place on the first day of opening.]
