1924 - Mail from the Tractor Party



Cover dated June 5th to Kashmir with the Indian stamp postmarked at Yatung. The label is cancelled with the rare 'Mount Everest Expedition / Tibet / 1924 / Tractor Party' violet cachet. An early example of Expedition mail, even though the Tractor Party was a separate undertaking from the climbing expedition.
