Item Description
1938 postally used Tongan First Day Cover from Haapai, Tonga (Toga), to Suva, Fiji, with the COMPLETE SET OF 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF QUEEN SALOTE'S ACCESSION, SCOTT #70-72, COVER TYPE OF "TIN CAN MAIL" WITHOUT "TIN CAN MAIL" MARKINGS.An October 12, 1938 First Day Cover from Tonga (Toga) containing the complete set of stamps marking the 20 years of the reign of Queen Salote Tubou of Otu Toga (Tonga), Scott #70-72. Outbound Tongan covers usually do not contain additional markings for "Tin Can Mail," the method used for delivery of mail to Tonga (Tonga had no viable port for ships to land). However, departing mail was delivered to passing ships by Tongans in canoes. The special first day ceremonies for the Queen's 20th anniversary were well planned and publicized in advance. Scans are of the actual item.
