;) | 1894 Swaziland 1894 envelope to Wimbledon, England, bearing a Transvaal 1d and two 2d, paying the 5d double rate of 2½d per ½ oz, cancelled by squared circle DARKTON SWAZIEL 9 DEC 94 datestamps. On the back are Johannesburg 12 DEC and Cape Town 15 DEC 94 transit datestamps and a Wimbledon 4 JAN 95 arrival c.d.s. Transvaal stamps overprinted 'Swazieland' had been invalidated from 7 November 1894, but the cancellers with 'SWAZIEL' at the foot remained in use until they were replaced with cancellers inscribed 'Z.A.R.' from 20 February 1995. This cover falls into the window when Transvaal stamps were in use but the canceller had not been changed, a period of only three months. A very fine and scarce double rate cover. £1350.00 Reference: K3096 |
;) | 1961 Swaziland 1961 picture post card (Swazi women carrying water) to England franked with a 1d cancelled TSHANENI 5 I 61 with a further strike at the lower left of the card. Tshaneni was previously called Eranchi, but renamed in December 1960. This is an early cancel from this town in the north east of the country. £38.00 Reference: K3095 |

;) | 1944 Swaziland 1944 1d post card to Johannesburg cancelled MBABANE 14 X 44. Full message on the back. Fine. £45.00 Reference: K2887 |
;) | c1962 Swaziland 1962c 5c on 6d registered envelope to Port Elizabeth with a 2½c added, that was most likely posted in a post box rather than being handed in over the counter. The postage for a registered letter would have been 3½c plus 4c registration, so it was correctly paid, but as it was posted out of course a tax of 5c was raised and POOC TAX and 'Posted Out Of Course' written by hand alongside a circular 'T' tax mark with 5c in manuscript in the centre. The stamps were uncancelled but a boxed PIGGS PEAK registration handstamp was applied. An interesting cover. £40.00 Reference: K2878 |
;) | 1954 Swaziland 1954 envelope to the USA bearing a ½d and a strip of four 1d's cancelled PIGGS PEAK 18 MAY 54. £40.00 Reference: K2871 |

;) | 1896 Swaziland 1896 envelope to Stutterheim, Cape, franked with two pairs of ½d's cancelled DARKTON 12 AUG 96. Pretoria transit and Stutterheim 18 AUG 96 arrival cancels are on the back. On 6 September 1895 the letter rate to the ZAR was reduced to 1d per ½ oz. It would appear as though the sender, Grosvenor Darke (the founder of Darkton) initially put a pair of ½d's on to pay what he thought was the 1d rate, but postage to other neighbouring states was still 2d and so an additional pair of ½d's was affixed and cancelled later that day. A very fine and scarce cover. £1150.00 Reference: K2411 |

;) | 1961 Swaziland 1961 envelope to Pretoria bearing a 2d and a 2c on 2d, cancelled HLATIKULU 16 II 61. The introduction of new currency stamps started on 14 February 1961. A combination of old and new currency on a cover is unusual. £30.00 Reference: G2453 |
;) | 1939 1939 4d Registered Envelope, size “G”, to Johannesburg with a 1d (on the reverse) and 2d added, cancelled MBABANE 10 MAR 39. Fine. £50.00 Reference: D2330 |
