CAPE OF GOOD HOPE
4d blue
January 1877
Cape Town to the United Kingdom
June 1890
One rate of 4d for each ¥2 ounce paid on a letter weighing ¥2 to 1
ounce. The 8d charge mark applied in Plymouth or Devonport
represents the 4d deficient postage and a 4d fine.
The 4d obscured by the black barred oval stamp represents the claim
of the Cape Colony Post Office on the GPO London for a share of the
deficient postage and the fine. There is another Cape charge /
accountancy handstamp underneath the 4d but the value of it cannot
be seen.
