BECHUANALAND 1913 SG88 Used

1913-24 2s6d B.W. printing, two horizontal pairs in strongly contrasting shades ("pale brown" and chocolate-brown), each attractively cancelled by central Francistown cds (different types), dated respectively "4 NOV 1927" and "25 APR 28". The former with unobtrusive faults (separation, left stamp with blue crayon and punctures, right stamp creasing), latter fine to very fine (right stamp with a couple of shortish perfs), nevertheless a handsome duo of commercial usages which would display well. Very scarce. (cat £640+). - P223003765
