CORINPHILA AUCTIONS 297 - 308 Day 4

Air mail provisionals made for the James Mollison Flight 1932 (Aug. 18): "ATLANTIC AIR MAIL AUGUST" magenta overprint on 1 s. 'Sword of Light' light blue in a horizontal pair with full original gum, each value signed on reverse by 'Jam' in manuscript (J.A, Mollison). A very scarce unused horizontal pair and the only mint example in existance. The collectors research revealed the existance of only 15 mint stamps with this private overprint, as there are only five singles, one pair and two blocks of four with one housed in the British Library.
