This is a hinged OG single of Philippines 297, the 20c Washington, with a "CS" Manila P.I. Commercial overprint, sometimes thought to be a precancel, issued in 1927 and only used for 1 1.2-2 years until the owner passed away. Centered F/VF and with nice fresh gum. Rare stamp and more rare mint, seldom seen, and a great addition to a specialist Philippines collection.
