(opened out for display) to London franked by a 1d Red 'stars' tied by a partly fine blue-black straight-line "LISSELANE" mark (with a second strike on the reverse beside Dublin & London c.d.s.'s).

Rare thus; Irish village P.O.'s were not allowed to cancel stamps, so to find an example on cover is most unusual. [Ex Stafford Johnson, 1958.] Photo | £300 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
