    1900: 1 d. dull mauve & carmine, a single used example on 1901 cover probably from Jebba to London endorsed "via Lagos" at top left, tied by manuscript "Post Office / Lagos / 16/8/01" in red ink - the hand writing appears to be the same as the Postmaster of Jebba and one must assume the 'Lagos' in this instance was in error as reverse shows "LAGOS / W. AFRICA" cds (Aug 26) in black and arrival cds (Sept 26). Slight aging, a scarce cover.rnProvenance: Collection T.V. Roberts, Robson Lowe, London, 26 April 1989.
