Cinderellas Grosvenor Auctions 2015 Estimate : £150 Cork International Exhibition 1902 Souvenir of the Cork International Exhibition (Vignette Unknown) You'd be correct , if you thought that design was taken from Scott Type A54 from Great Britain.

Received an hour or so ago. Royal National Lifeboat Institution Abbreviation, RNLI ; Formation, 4 March 1824 ; Type, Life savers ; Legal status, Registered charity ; Purpose, To save lives at sea. If the stamps have Eire N on them they can only be used for National postage, (but it passed on my cover to Australia) as opposed to say, Eire €1, which can be used for national or international postage.
