POSTAGE DUES

| AB3115 |
| 1951 (21st February), incoming unpaid envelope from Bolivia, with printed sender’s address as the sub-postal administration in Cochabamba. With manuscript tax marking ‘3½’, the shortfall was receipted by affixing the three postage dues then in use: ½d sage-green, 1d carmine and 2d violet (SG D4-D6) tied by a RAMOUTSA / STA (6 Mar) double circle datestamp. The envelope with some creasing, otherwise fine. An unusual origin / destination, possibly philatelically inspired though this issue is very scarce to rare on cover. |
