Continental Night Mail I believe. A service from the UK to the continent with an extra fee to travel overnight instead of next day.

Thanks for the info, guys. I just bought this item on ebay on a whim - the auction was just closing when I discovered it so I wasn't in a position to do any research about what I was buying first!

It is indeed "Continental Night Mail". This postmark was used on the London to Dover TPO. There was also a "French Day Mail" postmark from the same TPO.

I just found one on Delcampe that I want, but the seller will only sell to Europe!! Why do sellers limit their market so stupidly?

(it's a real cheapie, but it fits one of my collections nicely)

They probably don't trust strangers from outside the area they know about. Similar people worldwide.

And then they moan that they're not selling anything! Never mind, I found a better example from a seller in Germany :)
