1891/1965: Group of over 70 commercial items, including war time Censors and a good proportion of airmail items. Among the many exciting pieces there are two standout items: a Boer War prisoner postcard from "Ragama Camp" to the Gold Coast, with the usual censor and route markings including London. As a destination for Boer War POW mail this is difficult to improve upon with the condition exceptional. The second is a delightful menu card from the SS KAMO MARU of the NYK line under the command of S .Shiratori, which shows both the company's routes and a fine depiction of the Toshogu Shrine in Nikko.
