19 DECEMBER 1942 / Outbound St. Kitts letter to Hartford, Connecticut, bearing an unusual variation of the octagonal censor handstamp, crown ‘PASSED / 3’. While the design was widely used across colonies, this example is uniquely small and narrow, unreported in the literature to date. Franked with 1938 ½d and 1s (SG 68 & 75) flanking a 1d (SG 69) that shows corner damage before or during transit. Reverse with clear ‘ST. JOHN / A / DE 19 42 / ANTIGUA’ transit cds. A remarkable and possibly unique St. Kitts censorship variety. Fine to Very Fine.
