Wonderful
new King George VI postal stationery item – chocolate theme
We have acquired a gorgeous 1951 KGVI postal
stationery item. It was printed to
private order and impressed with KG6 ½d orange and 1½d green stationery heads
making the 2d rate.
This lovely pristine item is an advertising card
for ‘Smarties’ the sugar coated chocolate buttons made by Rowntree’s of
York. We offered this in our March
2001 mail bid sale at an estimate of £30.
We had 8 bids on it. Sold at
£55. Top bid £65.
