Queen Elizabeth

King George the 6th. Coronation issue. FDC in fact AND an overprint, What more could you ask for? Another big Omnibus issue from the same country that brought us the original postage stamp.

The Cook Islands and New Zealand are old stomping grounds of Captain Cook, who was murdered and chopped into pieces and divided amongst Hawaiian Chieftains.

9 days till the St Louis expo. Hope to see you there!!
