Dublin County - Kingstown: 1786 (27 Dec.) Pair of stampless entire letters from Armagh to "Dunleary B. Rock" (Blackrock), each carried by the General Post to Dublin G.P.O. and charged 4d, then transferred to the Dublin Penny Post for onward delivery via its Blackrock Receiving House, attracting the concessionary 1d Penny Post charge (total 5d). Both bear the scarce D27M (27 December Morning) Dublin Penny Post datestamp. An exceptional and historically important pair, believed to represent the earliest recorded surviving mail addressed to the then small village of Dunleary (later Kingstown/Dún Laoghaire), illustrating the interaction between the General Post and the Dublin Penny Post systems.
