Postal Uses
Auxiliary Handstamps Delayed Delivery
“L in circle.” January 14, 1853. Carrickboy to London. The exact nature of
the handstamp is unknown, but is usually associated with letters delayed
in transit due to an insufficient address. By 1853, street addresses were
mandated to be used. This lack of a street address and the three London
datestamps indicate a possible delay, leading to the use of this handstamp.
- CARRICKBOY straight line receiving handstamp
- Edgeworthstown JA 14 1853 datestamp and 206 numeral cancellation
- Dublin red-orange circular “A / JA 14 / 1853 / A” datestamp
- London Inland Office red circular morning duty datestamp
- London red shield JA 15 1853, transit datestamp
- London red octagonal red 12 Noon, JA 15 transit datestamp
