1935 1st May, envelope bearing KGV Silver Jubilee set of four (SG 11-14), centrally and clearly cancelled 'MAKOALIS', sent registered Airmail with a further strike on label, to Johannesburg. Most unusual.
Note: apparently a stamp dealer in Johannesburg requested the postal agent at Makoalis to cancel a number of envelopes franked with the KGV Silver Jubilee set with the date 1 MAY 1935. It is not known if this was a genuine error on the part of the dealer or deliberate. The dealer was subsequently charged with incitement to forgery but was acquitted (see South African Philatelist, March 1938, p. 35, a cpoy of which is included). |
