Item Description
Better cancel used for stamps cancelled while letters in transit. "In 1892 the Universal Postal Union (UPU) decided at a meeting in Switzerland that all ships were their own sovereign territory while on the high seas, and outside territorial waters, and that a passenger could write a letter, add a stamp of the country the ship was registered in, and put the letter in the ship's mailbox. From there the letter was taken to the nearest post office in the next port of call by a member of crew or the purser. The post office applied a "paquebot" postmark to the letter, usually over the stamp." See photo of back of stamps. Better photos or scans are available upon request, as sometimes the colors don't show correctly. I have many more Brunei definitives (mint and used, some with better cancels), commemoratives, MS, booklets, and postal stationery to list - just ask if you are looking for something.Seller Information
