This is a scarce card.

After the success of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition the Government of the day decided to repeat it the following year. The 1925 British Empire Exhibition(or Exposition) and was again staged in Wembley Park,Wembley,North London from 9th May to 31st October 1925. Exhibitions of products from the countries of the Empire were again displayed in pavilions erected in the grounds by the various countries of the Empire. Both Exhibitions or Expositions gave rise to Wembley Stadium still the home of English football(Ref. 1).

I attest that the \'roo stamps(or any stamps for that matter) in my stock have not been reperfed,reperfinned(if a perfin),regummed(if mint or CTO) or gassed while in my possession. Furthermore I assert that these \'roo stamps have never been so treated because I bought them so long ago before these things were prevalent and/or I bought them from impeccable sources.
