1898
(30 Dec.) envelope to Manila bearing 2c (Y2)
red cancelled
by manuscript "Banstan" postmark, reverse with docketing
"Picked up
by a U.S. soldier."
Error in
description, franking is #Y1 and not #Y2. Beautiful cover, the fault on
the left is actually ink stain with only a small piece on the lower part
missing. upon careful inspection I am certain that the stamp belongs to
the cover. Realized price of just over US$2,000.00 inclusive of 15% buyer's
premium. (Zurich Asia Auction). |
