Stamp Type:

Commemoratives

1 1/2d Wembley Lion

Producer/Series: Forgeries

Postmark:

Wembley Park, Lion, Slogan Postmark

Notes: This cover is marked as 'Identified as a Forgery' on the reverse.
Had the postmark been genuine, this first day cover would have been worth in the region of £750. This item would make an extremely good 'space-filler', for those collectors who could never afford that sort of money - and that's assuming they could find a copy of it in the first place, let alone in such good condition! It also has the British Empire Exhibition cachet.
