T1696
1904 (6th June), colour picture postcard (Rissik Street, Johannesburg). Addressed to England and bearing a single KEVII ½d (SG 244) tied by a ROODEPOORT (6 Jun) double circle datestamp. The card was underpaid and marked accordingly with a small circular ‘T/XXI’ (presumably the code for Roodeport) and an octagonal ‘T/5/CENTIMES marking. A large ‘1D/I.S./B.’ marking was applied on arrival in England. The tax markings with Roman numerals at base are scarce. Very fine.
