St Helena 1922-37 15s grey and purple/blue, lightly cancelled by '18 JA 27' circular date stamp, SG113.

A very rare stamp genuinely used, and hardly ever found in such fine condition.

This definitive issue first released in 1922 was designed by the St Helena-born Postmaster Thomas R. Bruce. It was similar to the 1912-16 pictorials, but instead of the Government House or the Wharf, these stamps showed the badge of St. Helena - a three-masted sailing ship near two large rocks.

Accompanied with a British Philatelic Association certificate of authenticity (2016).

The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £3,250.
