Pre cancel query

Post by JohnB »

The enclosed scan is of part of a newspaper wrapper. The cancel is, I believe, a pre cancel issued to W H Smith. Its use to cancel a stamp seems unusual. Does this mean that before or after its allocation to WHS it was in normal use at the London WC office. Is anything known of this possible dual use ?

Dear JohnB,

Would you kindly contact me at pennyred@earthlink.net.
A friend of mine would like to contact you about WHS postmarks. In the meantime I hope I will be successful in persuading him to become a member and use the discussion board.

Very best regards,
Tim
