I am guessing this is a postal stationery cut-out pasted to a 1932 New Zealand cover.....or am I missing something?
Wasn't it forbidden to use cut-out postal cards or other postal stationery on mail? Are my eyes playing tricks on me or did someone use pinking shears (zig-zag cutting noticed on the six pence Queen Victoria "stamp". which is definitely canceled with a Mapua, NZ Mar 21 (19)32 circular date stamp like the other stamps on the cover.
I am intrigued, was the sender trying to save a few pennies by using an older "stamp" or cut-out? My favorite cover seller listed this and it expires within the hour. It is up to US$35 but that's a bit too pricey for me. Maybe if the QV stamp/image was not damaged on the right side.......
What is your opinion???
Should I have bid more?
What would you bid, if you collected this type cover?
