Uddevalla postage due marking type 3 1B on unpaid ship letter (with manuscript notation on top "Pr Knape fr Marstrand") dated Marstrand October 5th 1852 and sent to Uddevalla. Normally, at least once during the sailing season, the date figures in the handstamp became so worn that they had to be repaired. The first year, 1852, this was the case in October, at the end of the sailing season.
