A remarkable datestamp error from RANGOON was recorded on a registered postal stationery envelope sent from BERNARDMYO. On the datestamp, the letter 'R' in RANGOON was mistakenly replaced with 'P,' resulting in "PANGOON." This datestamp error is known to exist on just one recorded envelope.
The envelope was sent from BERNARDMYO to GERMANY on March 2, 1892, with a postage fee of 2 Annas for standard postage and 2 Annas 6 pies for registration. The "PANGOON" transit datestamp is dated March 12, 1892, and is struck on the reverse of the envelope. Bernardmyo, now known as Mogok, is renowned as the ruby mining district where some of the world's finest rubies are extracted.
