1856 cover to "<strong>No</strong>rwood/near Adelaide/SA" with 1854 Recess "Penny Black" SG 1 x2 singles<br />
(originally a horizontal pair, the second unit a little cut-into at top) & 1854-55 Litho 4d blue SG 3a<br />
(margins good to huge, with a fragment of the adjoining unit at left) tied by three unusually bold strikes<br />
of the Grid-Numeral '14' in dull red, largely very fine strike of the undated oval 'POST OFFICE/[crown]/<br />
ALBANY/WESTERN AUSTRALIA' h/s in the same ink alongside, 'GPO/FE15/1856/SOUTH<br />
AUSTRALIA' transit cds on the face, remarkable provisional usage of South Australian Diamond<br />
Numeral '8' of <strong>No</strong>rwood on the reverse with manuscript "15/2/56" arrival endorsement. An unusually<br />
fine Mixed Issue cover.<br />
The vast majority of surviving Imperforate issue covers are to the United Kingdom. Inter-Colonial<br />
usages such as this are as rare as fine strikes of the Albany postmarks!<br />
