1929, BURMA. Envelope written from 'The Prince Royal College, Chiengmai, Siam' addressed to Washington D.C. bearing Great Britain SG 419, 1d scarlet and SG 421, 2d orange tied by Keng Tung double ring, stamps deemed invalid and outlined with blue crayon with 'T/50c' applied in Burma and 'New York/Due 10 Cents' duplex applied in transit. Very fine item from the Siamese/Burma border as Keng Tung was under British and at other times Siamese depending on the border conflicts in the region. Kengtung is presently in the Eastern Shan State of Burma though historically it was closely tied to the Lanna Kingdom of Northern Thailand. Very interesting item.
