Description: This philatelic item is a pristine, unsevered se-tenant pair from the 1969 British Ships Commemorative Issue released by the General Post Office. Printed in a horizontal landscape format, each individual stamp carries a face value of one shilling (1/-) under the pre-decimal monetary system. The left stamp illustrates the iconic SS Great Britain, featuring her distinct green-and-black iron hull, single funnel, and six-masted rigging layout. The right stamp depicts the legendary RMS Mauretania, accurately detailed with her four striking red-and-black Cunard funnels cutting through the white background. Both individual panels contain the classic Arnold Machin silhouette portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II nestled in the upper right-hand corner, gracefully preserving the official royal stamp format.
Circa: 1969
Condition: Mint pair
