The Rugged Coast of Mahé, Seychelles Islands, Indian Ocean: 1936 (Dec. 29) to Oklahoma, A very early cover, the earliest recorded by JP being Dec. 6, 1936. The cachet portrays the rocky coast, with palms but without seagulls as mentioned at JP 68:5, pp. 297-298. A vertical pair of 9c plus a single 2c Seychelles King George V make up the postage, tied by two of three "Victoria/C/DE 29/36/Seychelles" c.d.s.'s. Lacking an opening remarque, the backflap is sealed by a double-circle kan handstamp in blue. Minor discoloration from mounting corners hardly detracts., Very Fine.
