    Description

    Nice stamp tied on small cover, clearly dated Jun 15, 1949.
    This super rare "flimsy" was only in use
    for about
    four months, between May and September 1949.
    These small covers were actually flown by pigeons
    from Herm Island to Guernsey, just prior to
    telephone service being established.
    Message written in pencil on reverse is indecipherable,
    although there is an expertized mark by R. Tocila.
