Remarkable North Borneo real-photo card posted in 1961 with a North Borneo stamp and postmark.  All that’s missing is the cooking pot.  Did we ever tell you why what is now Kota Kinabalu was once called Jesselton?  Thanks to Wikipedia:  by the end of 1899, construction started on shop lots, a pier and government buildings. This new administrative centre was renamed Jesselton after Sir Charles Jessel, then Vice-Chairman of BNBC (British North Borneo Company).  Eventually, Jesselton became a major trading post of North Borneo, dealing in rubber, rattan, honey, and wax.  Maybe the Chairman was not amused?  Grade: 1
