I found this India envelope stamp with what appears to be an overprint in black ink. I have never seen an overprint that went to the trouble of following the original print, but maybe someone knows about this. If anyone has a catalog number of near value or just good information, I would appreciate learning about it. Thanks - Jeff

I can't say whether it has catalogue value, but it has lots of visual appeal.

I like it cjd, but I have no idea what it is and unfortunately is has a small tear that does intrude into the design near the top middle.

It's probably cut from a Higgins & Gage #5 of 1891. Higgins & Gage rated the used envelope entire at 35 cents, but cut squares like this of India have no commercial market value, even if Rod222 loves them ...
