| AB201 |
| 1949 (30th September), underpaid incoming envelope from the Leeward Islands bearing KGVI ¼d, ½d, 1d and 2d tied by small PAQUEBOT single circle cancellations. Addressed to the USA with the address altered to Lobatsi, Bechuanaland. Endorsed ‘To Pay’ and ‘T-10’, the shortfall was receipted by two ½d postage dues from the 1926 and 1952 issues (SG D1, D4) which were affixed and tied by a LOBATSI (30 Sep) double circle datestamp. Philatelically inspired, though rare as approximately four envelopes or fronts are known bearing the 1926 issue and only two with a mixed postage due franking. |
