| Hi Clive, we will catch up sometime no doubt. As you suggest your 1d red may be 17 13 or 5 13. There seems to be agreement on stamp boards that the 17 13 month is July. Is there a clear month photo I have missed? This date seems to be on a rarity parallel to the Dec 5th and could well be a suppleme... |

| Clive, the stamp appears to have been canceled twice, with the first cancel not being clear enough? I very much doubt it is the JY date, they all seem to be very crisp and clean cancels. Peter, I think it's just another example of a heavy-handed strike - they are not uncommon. Agree with you about ... |

What can't be established, or so it seems, is why 5 Dec... |

That's a stong candidate for 'bargain of the year'. Peter was only yesterday saying how scarce and undercatalogued the halfpenny CTOs are. Good flat-topped 3 cancel.
Does it have gum? If not it might scrub up rather nicely after a hot bath.
