Lot Description:INWARDS INTER-COLONIAL MAIL: 1887 cover from NSW to "C.H. Granlund/Exhibition Buildings/Adelaide"
with De La Rue 1d pair tied by BN '1106' of 'CROYDON/NSW' b/s, endorsed "Express/56", Sydney & Adelaide transits & faint '[JUBILEE] EXHIBITION/JU 20/87/S-A' arrival (Earliest Recorded Date) backstamp. -
Notes:The Express marking is intriguing. It's not just the desire of the sender that delivery be expedited; the numeral "56" has been added in a different hand & a separate operation, suggesting acceptance by some form of (private?) enhanced service, for which any fee must have been paid in cash.
