Products description


Great Southern and Western Railway, 1898 2d dark bluish green from plate T. III with large 'BY', used in 1905 on a specially printed L'Estrange Ewen cover from Wexford Station to London, with both stamps cancelled by pen, station straight-line and London machine cancel. DeLacy-Spencer #7, Hib. R103.
The railway stamp has a hardly-noticeable corner fault, hardly detracting from this interesting transfer cover: Great Southern & Western Railway, transfer direct to the Holyhead & Kingstown Packet, then transfer to the London & North Western Railway, thus avoiding the Royal Mail until reaching Euston Station!
