1910-13 Double Head Issue
One Shilling
Covers

1912 (1 Nov.) long envelope to Livingstone with a huge franking of fourteen values comprising 1896-97 4d., 8d., 2/- and 2/6d., 1898-1908 5/- and 10/-, 1909 2½d., 7/6d. and £1 and 1910-13 ½d., 3d., 5d., 6d. and 1/- all tied by 'Livingstone' double-ring datestamps; two vertical filing folds not affecting the adhesives, a very attractive though philatelic cover. The cover shows why it can be difficult to find Double Heads on covers with more than one stamp without other issues being included; even two years after the issue of the Double Heads, only five of the values on the cover are of this issue.
