Leeward isl query.
 

Anyone care to speculate how a Richmond Surrey hammer
appears on a Leeward Island stamp?

Well, on cover it could have told more, but here goes.

1) Mailed from Leeward Is. to Richmond.
The Leeward Is. cancel either missed the stamp
or was not applied to the cover.
PO in Richmond cancelled the stamp, before delivery.

2) Less likely, stamp used in error , possibly by a
recent arrival from the LI and the Richmond PO didn't notice.

3) Letter was pre stamped in LI. but then was
carried by a traveller to the UK. A 1d GB stamp
was added and it was reposted upon arrival in Richmond.
The PO cancelled both stamps.
