WORLD CUP WINNERS (OVERPRINT)
by Alan Brignull
Single colour artistamp, 3.7 x 2cm.
Printed at the Hedgehog
Press
on an Adana 8-5 letter press.
In the chaos following
privatization of the Adanaland Post Office,
a stock of Pastimes of the
People stamps was overprinted in anticipation of a world cup
victory.
Only afterwards was it found that no team had in fact been
entered.
Most were recalled, and this stamp is therefore extremely rare.
