1966 (22nd June), 2c ‘Hoopoe’ postal stationery card (BBS PC23). Addressed to Alice, Cape Province, South Africa with a message on the reverse. The imprinted stamp is cancelled with a MAHALAPYE / BECH. PROT. (22 Jun) double circle datestamp. Some light staining, though extremely rare commercial use of this card, we have previously only ever handled one commercially used example. A modern rarity.
