Lot 767 - PH: Palestine Mandate - Historama HISTORAMA AUCTION #7 - 'Buy or Bid' SaleRare 2 mils printed matter rate applied to The Union of Religious Writers weekly paper "BaMishor" ('In the Field'), tied by 2m pictoral stamp (Ba 90), from JERUSALEM to TEL AVIV 23 DE 43. Sent to a "Sh. Ch. Kook" - probably Rabbi Shlomo Kook (1929-1971), a nephew of Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak HaCohen Kook, who also contributed articles to this paper (including this edition) and redirected to his post office box (290). Complete newspaper (12 pages), with fold at center and some stains; a few minor tears at the bottom; size: 23.4 x 30.1cm. For whatever reason, the mailing of this publication was subsequently charged the 3m rate in 1946, perhaps having lost its authorization for the reduced rate with the General Post Office when re-titled & published without the auspicies of the Union of Religious Writers.

Lot 773 - PH: Palestine Mandate - Historama HISTORAMA AUCTION #7 - 'Buy or Bid' SaleLate Mandate / Kofer HaYishuv mail: 21 AP 1948 commercial cover on "Doar" stationary from TEL AVIV to BNEI BRAK franked 10m per period letter rate using a Kofer HaYishuv label (Ba 133) instead of a Mandate frank. Backstamped (unusually, as not a registered letter) 23 AP arrival (Dorf-5, rated B+). Although Kofer HaYishuv stamps were unauthorized for postal use, in the period March-April 1948 these were used for patriotic reasons by senders and generally accepted by the post offices who transmitted those letters onwards - here per postmarks, the franking was accepted untaxed both in TEL AVIV and BNEI BRAK. Very fine strikes; slit open at top. Historama HISTORAMA AUCTION #7 - 'Buy or Bid' SalePH: Palestine Mandate |
