Scott #647 [1987 5c Manley] (VF) Used -- as intended for the low values -- as a rate-make-up value on a 10 October ca.1987 business-size envelope, also bearing two Scott #636 [1986 25c Flowers], to make the 55c airmail rate to the U.S. The "LIONEL TOWN" postmark does not include a year date (!!!) which is probably typical for that town in that time period, but not generally for Jamaican postmarks -- they probably lost the year date slug! The positioning of the stamp stamps on the cover suggests that a stamp is missing, but under high-power magnification there is no evidence of another stamp having been present. The envelope is genuinely postally used; a SASE to the CA UC-Davis Ag Engineering Department and is from a large correspondence of worldwide covers to the same department, all in this same time period (this was the only Slania Jamaican cover). Jamaican sender address excised from the backside. Even though they were definitive issues that saw a lot of use, the Jamaican Slania stamps are remarkably hard to find on cover even though 37 years have now passed! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #647 [1987 5c Manley] (small defects) Used -- as intended for the low values -- as a rate-make-up value on a 18 January (no year date showing in cancel) ca1988 small-size envelope, also bearing two Scott #676 [1987 25c Flower; Hibiscus Elatus], to make the 55c airmail rate to the U.S. The partial "OR(ANGE BAY)" postmarks appear to not include a year date (!!!) which is probably typical for that town in that time period, but not generally for Jamaican postmarks -- they probably lost the year date slug! The envelope is genuinely postally used; a SAE to a correspondence school. The Jamaican sender address indicates "Portland Bay / ... / Portland". Even though they were definitive issues that saw a lot of use, the Jamaican Slania stamps are remarkably hard to find on cover even though 37 years have now passed! ACTUAL item. |

The return address states "Mavis Bank P.O. / St. Andrew". The envelope is genuinely postally used; a SAE to a correspondence school.
