Description

B53 “PENOE” COVER

2d blue, position 7 showing the “PENOE” variety, large even margins and tied by ‘B53 DUPLEX’ cancel dated ‘MAURITIUS/B.SP.22.66’, on cover front and backflap addressed to Savanne, backflap showing ‘GRANDE SAVANNE/B.SP.23.66’ cds, some toning, an important rarity as the use of local letters addressed for delivery from one provincial town to another are extremely rare, as well as being an extremely late usage, perhaps the latest for the Post Paid issue

Note: Kanai describes this as “Probably only one known recorded of the “Post Paid” 2d stamps on cover with “B53″ cancellation”
