1835 THIRD OFFICIAL FREE HANDSTAMP (03) on folded "Circular" / "On Service" wrapper from Cape Town to Uitenhage bearing facsimile signature of "John Bell, Sec. To Govt" and manuscript signature of "J Spyker", all authorising the free postage. The handstamp dated 19 MY 1837 is perfectly placed at lower left. One of the most elusive Cape markings, seldom seen, even in the major collections. Rare.
