Item Description
Madagascar sg5 1d magenta postage 29.5mm british consulate mail h/s1884 1d (1oz) magenta postal packet cancelled by red ink line very fine with corner gumming intact. Scarce in this quality. Ex mayer. The paper used for these issues was thin and of poor quality. Consequently even the most careful handling and mounting can cause damage (particularly thins). All these issues are scarce to rare. As the stamps of madagascar were designed to be affixed at antananarivo and torn off at tamatave prior to onward dispatch each stamp in the sheet of four was daubed with a small patch of gum (usually found in the upper left corner. An interesting fact is there were no roads in madagascar until at least 1900 (these stamps ceased in 1895) so the fees charged by these stamps paid a local runner to carry the mail 200 miles on foot for onward dispatch from the french port in tamatave. Even today this journey takes 7 1/2 hours by car!! This example if way above the condition these are normally found in. Purchased from stanley gibbons (still on their card)
