Public auction #37

1854 Lithographed 1a. red on 1858 cover from Poona to Esher, Surrey, England via Bombay, Marseilles and London, tied by "52" numeral, red "POONA/58 AP 3/PAID" cds and boxed "INDIA UNPAID" in black alongside, charge 1/- in m/s, and on reverse with Bombay and London transit datestamps as well as May arrival cds. The adhesive with a crease (occured when mounted) but with wide margins around and intensive colour - still a good cover with an attractive stamp, the boxed "INDIA UNPAID" and the scarce 'Paid' Poona cds in red.
