Item description:
|
|
The stamps are self-adhesive and are overprinted SPECIMEN.
The design shows the ships that called at Niuafoou (Tin Can Mail Island) to collect the islanders mail - there was no airport then (in the 1930´s and earlier) and no safe landing harbour, so the natives swam or carried by canoe the mail to the passing ships.
This is TYPE 2 - there were two printings - Type 1 is where the backing paper is perforated and the imperf stamp peels off the backing paper (and there is nothing written on the back of the backing paper) - type 2 was a second printing (experiment) where the whole stamp plus backing paper was perforated just like stamps from other countries and also on the back were the words "Bend forward and peel off backing paper) and the self-adhesive stamp which peeled off was then perforated.

Unless otherwise advised in the item description, airmail postage and firm packing is US$2.80 to anywhere in the world. More than one small item (such as stamps) will go together in the same envelope for the one lot of postage.
Where the items to be posted are larger (such as covers or large stamp blocks or artwork), then the cost of postage is shown in the item description. But US$2.80 is the minimum cost to anywhere in the world except for Australia where the cost is US$1.50.
IMPORTANT NOTE - those wishing to pay by PayPal must add 4% to the total.
IMPORTANT NOTE - for buyers in China, India, Russia and Romania who pay by PayPal, REGISTRATION is now compulsory. Too many unregistered letters have somehow gotten lost or stolen when sent to these high risk countries and paypal forces me to refund payment to the buyers even though I have posted their letters. If you pay by moneybookers then registration is not compulsory.
