ST. HELENA #79 & 80 (SW). The series from which these two values come from was first issued in 1923 through to 1937. As mail from this small community was relatively uncommon, many collectors looking for postmark copies of these stamps arranged for letters to receive postal cancellation. And that is why both stamps today are from St. Helena. The collector requesting the postmark for his set of stamps probably had them all cancelled on the same day. Unfortunately, the year date was not captured on the stamps.
