Hi Tom

Nice unissued tropical sidecap. Original insignia applied correctly for this maker

Looks to be from the "Beehive cache", though did not know that there were any Halfar sidecaps in that group. But as there were over 1,000 tropical sidecaps found its certainly possible. Also the large size is interesting. & Pz

And such an early date?

Yes 1940 is earlier than most in the cache but there are several other makers dated Feb - Mar '41 through to those dated Dec '42 and even some with rbn#s.

Wow - size 61.
Very nice early Halfar - and they don't come any earlier than 1940. I have yet to see one like this in the famous 'Beehive' cashe, but the condition is so darn near 'mint' I would be pleasently surprised if it came from another source (certainly possible!)
She's a keeper, no doubt about that.
Thanks for showing.
