Cracker !  The backstamps confuse me  1843 and 71 ?
I just love the names the British come up with, history flows through them all. High and Low Bishopside is a civil parish in Nidderdale in the Harrogate district, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It includes the town of Pateley Bridge and the villages of Glasshouses and Wilsill, the southern part of Wath and the hamlets of Blazefield, and Fellbeck. ----------- SENT 26th July 1841 Date stamp impression book, Post Office Archives Vol 5 page 16 Sent to Ripon  ------------------- Linus, cracking cover! Thank you. May I have permission to send to the Database? Although, of late, (sadly) I am not getting responses from Alan even with postmarks he is asking for. Your duplex is not listed.

Curious
Nice "wing margin" postage stamp.

Rod, you always have permission to use my images, you need not ask again.  Quote:

First Letter in the world, to be franked and delivered. (debatable of course) Here, one could cut around the stamp, so it would fit on an album page, because it is a common stamp.  |

Agree. Those envelopes take up alot of space you could use to mount more stamps.
It is the earliest known used example that was delivered. The Penny Black was put on sale on 1 May 1840. There may be lurking an example used on 1 May 1840 in a dealer's box.
Note it was not the first franking, but the first franking with a stamp. Franking an item was common practice and an appropriate handstamp indicating postage had been paid by the sender was applied.
The Penny Black was not valid to prepay postage until 6 May 1840. This item should have been treated as unpaid and charged 2d on receipt. |

A general call out.
Any members know Allan S Oliver webmaster of the Philatelic database?
Been in touch etc?
I have so many postmarks missing from the database, but he is not answering emails.
Just hope he is well and OK
I just love that database and spend hours there,
It will be a tragedy if it remains stagnant.

EMBOSSED SET OFF.Can any members explain how this occurred please? Common? GB Stationery Cat : Brightmore #16 Envelopes Post Office 1893 0.5d Vermilion Embossed, Florettes. Huggin / Baker type 1b (Still unable to read this Catalogue, a most confusing tome, or find type 1b ) OGMORE VALE (Unlisted) Ogmore Vale (Welsh: Cwm Ogwr) is a village (and electoral ward) in the county borough of Bridgend, Wales on the River Ogmore. The village's main source of income came from coal mining. Up until the year 1865, the Ogmore valley was a quiet, isolated, rural hill farming community of less than ten farms and a few cottages.

Chasing a difficult one Any members aware of a Postmark design sheet by Stitt-Dibden? I'd dearly like to get my hands on a blank copy anyone? Posted by an SCF member some time ago  |

Hi Rod,
I'd not seen this before but I guess it's a privately-made table based on the listing and illustrations in a 43-page booklet, Newspaper Branch Cancellations by William G. Stitt Dibden, published in the UK in 1971 (or from a 1957 booklet by the same author).
This is based on a quick check in the online RPSL catalogue.

Hi Nigel, great to hear from you.. Thanks Quote:
but I guess it's a privately-made table based on the listing and illustrations ...and a very good one, I'd say. So I am going to make my own, I have Stitt Dibden, but it's a grungy, well used monograph, some images are good, others (mimeographed) are poor  |
