Description
1932 (15 NO) incoming cover from Indochina, underfranked by 1931-41 "Junk" 1c sepia (SG 168), tied by "TINHBIEN / COCHINCHINE", dated "24 9 32" (additional strike alongside), with triangular "T" tax mark below. The deficiency paid on arrival by vertical pairs of the French Issue 1925 Postage Due 20c greyish-slate and 30c red, each cancelled by a central strike of "NEW HEBRIDES / VILA" cds, with an additional strike alongside. Backstamped at Hando (25 9), Saigon (26 9) and Noumea (2 NOV). Philatelic, and some cover wrinkling, but a rare and attractive usage.
