Addressed to the USA and endorsed ‘per book post’. Uprated with the addition of a ‘1d.’ surcharge on unappropriated die 1d lilac and black (SG 22). The imprinted stamp is cancelled with a ‘555’ Barred Oval Numeral Canceller and the adhesive is tied by a VRYBURG / [dot] (21 Mar) single circle datestamp. Wrappers are very scarce genuinely used, and especially so with the added 1d surcharge. BBS WR3b, H&G 3 |
