Vilnius-Warszawa Railway post 1927



This is a cancellation of the Polish railway post (Poczta Peronowa) track number 117, the line between Wilno/Vilnius and Warszawa/Warsaw. Vilnius has been occupied by the Poles during the interwar period and used regular polish stamps after the annexation of "Central Lithuania/Litwa Środkowa" in 1922. The stamp depicts the Aušros vartai/Ostra Brama in Vilnius. It has been issued in 2 denominations, 1 grosz and 24 grozsy (pluriel of "grosz"). The 24 groszy stamp has 2 color variations.
