10c Booker T. Washington (873). Used along with 20c Presidential (825), tied by Washington, D.C. May 27, 1941 duplex on cover to Vichy-controlled St. Laurent du Maroni, French Guiana, censor tape at left with May 31, 1941 violet handstamp, Cayenne backstamp (June 7) and French censor double-ring handstamp, St. Laurent du Maroni arrival backstamp of June 14, vertical file fold not affecting stamps, Fine, although U.S. maintained airmail service to Cayenne while the colony was controlled by the Vichy government, the only way to get mail from Cayenne to St. Laurent du Maroni was by Dutch steamer based out of Surinam (which was controlled by the Dutch government-in-exile), a rare and striking use of both the 10c Booker T. Washington and 20c Prexie stamps
