Description

Tangier: 1907 (Jan 1) OHMS long envelope sent on the first day of issue within Tangier, with short set of 5c on 1/2d to 6p on 5s (9 values), each tied by Tangier code “B” cds, written by Roque Lyons (addressed to himself) who was until 31st December 1906 the Gibraltar Postal Agent in Tangier after refusing the appointment of Chief Clark, and instead expanded his existing business as a stamp dealer, and since the cover doesn’t include the 12p on 10s it’s quite likely because it wasn’t available in Tangier at the time, a very attractive and extremely rare first day cover with only two known, ex Burrus (lot 356, 20th May 1964) and Driffield.

Catalogue ref: S.G. 112/122
