My favourite stamp - and a question about the cancellation
A 1967 4d Deep Sepia. Allegedly also the late Queen's favourite stamp. I love it additionally for the Maltese Cross cancellation. This was obviously a promotional cancellation - my question is, Does anyone know the circumstances of the cancellation? Was it a Post Office thing used for a period of time? A first day cover thing? Or a promotion at an event like Stampex International?
