Lot 5246

Large Camel 1908: 4 m. brown, post card, unused. Fresh and clean condition. A very fine example of this allusive card (H&G 13). Note: Although 51260 postal cards were received from De La Rue in 1899, they were not put on sale. Ten years later there was not a use for them for external mail as the colour of the stamp impression was wrong. Most were returned to De La Rue for being overprinted with the local postcard rate of 2 Milliemes. This meant that only 609 examples remained without the overprint
