1916 4d registered envelope to the Standard Bank, Mafeking, with a spectacular franking of a block of 18 x 1d’s, which would have paid postage and insurance. The stamps have been cancelled GABERONE B. P. 11 DE 16. Unfortunately no one knows what the Bechuanaland insurance rates were but this had to have been insured as the envelope could not have been over 4 oz and probably contained bank notes. This is the largest known used block of 1d’s on a cover. A most appealing and important cover.
