Description
1782 Unframed horseshoe “Dockwra” type handstamp PENNY POST/PAID/14 fragment on laid gummed paper, unusual and extremely rare
Note: Feldman/Kane states “There is no indication of date or origin, but it is possible that is was in some way connected with the “Dockwra” type. It has been suggested that it could have been an impression from a trial-type stamp, later rejected, but until more evidence becomes available, nothing definite can be said.
