1951 Colour Change Cover Pre Cancel
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2021 9:15 pm
Hi all
Although I've been collecting for a while, I'm new to GBPS.
As an introduction I thought I'd post this 1951 colour change definitive cover. The formal date of this issue is 3rd May 1951. However, the cover is cancelled 3rd April 1951. I have little doubt that it is deliberate rather than accidental - especially as its issue is probably a couple of weeks prior to the stamps being issued to the post offices.
I want to do a write up about it in my collection and i was wondering if anyone can shed any more light on this cover, or has a similar cover - all comments welcome
