A 2d ANHC with a Victoria Machine cancel. We doubt that
this is a CTO, so the stamp would have to be used illegally.
It's almost certainly a contrivance of Dr W. P. Heslop, who also used (improperly)
NWPI and Papua stamps on his Victorian mail. (Ruecker coll.)

Forged Port Vila ANHCo cancel on a 1d stamp (seen on the Internet)
In the right bottom corner you can see the original cancel in the same position as on the stamp.

One of the Cronin letters with old stamps. I think he drank a pot of Kava with the postmaster....
After 1956 and 1957, M A.Cronin is back on 1958 with a cover from LAMAP to TORONTO.
The ANHCO locals and the first French definitive issue of 1911 tied by PM27 8 OCT 58
the first day of the LAMAP postal agency. No problem with the postmaster !
