;) | SIAM (THAILAND) to DJIBOUTI Sensational destination, and you know how incredibly rare early REGISTERED post cards are! Written in French by A. Bradae (acute accent over e) DE 1 1901 with return address c/o Siam Canals & Irrigation Company, Bangkok to Pierre Faivre, Djibouti with boxed "R", Bangkok transit (top left), Singapore, Aden (DE 30 01), Sea Post oval appended "1789". The rate should have been 4att (postage) and 10att (registration) but someone took a great liking to the missing 10att for its splendid postmark, and there would have a greater incentive if the Thai stamp added LAOS or CAMBODIA (and later a substituted 1 att put in its a place). The clues of origin are the 8 rayed star within the fleuron on the 4att whose ink matches the town/village boxed key-shaped local registration handstamp - has anyone ever seen this EXACT FORMAT rare mark before? What a wonderful 4-countries item, and what a wonderful mystery to be solved. £2000 |
