Stockholm 1906.

This letter was sent from Stockholm to London on June 7, 1858, and franked with two pairs and two separate copies of the 6 skilling banco. Largest known number of this value on one cover.

The 1 penny and 2 pence "Post Office" stamps of Mauritius were issued on September 21, 1847. They are the first colonial stamps in the world and have been legendary ever since they were first discovered by collectors in 1864.

Only 500 of each stamp were produced. As far as we know 27 are still in existence. Of these twelve are of the 2 pence value.

Donated by Hans Lagerlöf, 1927.

Pehr Ambjörn Sparre, the director of
