1831 Entire letter from Stettin to Frederick Huth & Co. in London, initially handstamped with dotted framed "oz at 5/4 per oz" (intended for use on letters from Belgium and Holland) and charged 5/4, the error quickly noticed and the incorrect handstamp apparently deliberately smudged and replaced by the correct "oz at 6/8 per oz", the rate altered with the original rate deleted by a large inspectors crown. Vertical file fold at right, otherwise fine and exceptional, the only example of these rate handstamps applied in error and corrected that we have seen. Photo on Page 40.
