Stock Code: P201005843
1911-23 Wmk single star 15r blue and olive and 25r orange and blue, attractively cancelled by matching large part strikes of "WILLING(DON IS)LAND" cds, dated "4 JLY 39". Trivial blemishes (15r with minor corner crease), nevertheless a scarce and appealing pair. [Willingdon Island, the largest artificial island in India, was opened in 1936, as part of the new Port and Naval Base in Cochin. It was named in honour of the then Viceroy, and played a key role in the 1939-45 war.]
