  • I think this is Michael Sarkies Martin, merchant, partner, 1 St. Thomas Walk. [Harold Cartwright, 2 May 2007]
  • The name seems to be spelt MARTYIN, which is possible a variant of MARTIN.
  • The stamp is a SG #101 issued in June 1894.
  • The cancellation is dated 15 / 7 1897. Might it be the port of Olehleh in the Netherlands East Indies (Sumatra)?
