Nice buys - I was working on Swaziland this morning. My latest purchases - A bit of a mix match. Natal "NOT FOR USE" Label. I already have a copy of this but couldn't resist another.  Edward VII Postal Stationary and Newspaper Wrappers  24p Machin Forgery - Again I already have a single and a used copy.  Drew |

This one was quite easy to tell as the perforations were 11 rather than 15 x 14. The image of the head is also quite different when placed next to an original.
This one appeared in 1993.

Hi StampStudy and All
I am wondering if that stamp from Natal overprinted "NOT / FOR / USE" is a 'test' stamp for postal employees there??

Bujutsu,
My SACC states the following : 1904 2s6d Booklet containing 30 x 1d stamps in blocks of 6 of which one is overprinted "NOT FOR USE" which accounted for the 1d premium charged on each booklet.
Regards
Drew |

My most recent purchase from right here on SCF from Philb I can't wait to add this to the Ohio collection as it has the Ohio cancel and address as well. I almost never can resist anything Ohio related. Thanks Phil. https://goscf.com/t/24876 |

I finally just picked up the first (of 4) of the large value U.S. Dept of State "Official" stamps. This is O-68  Not quite perfect, but that describes a lot of my collection. I'd rather have a "imperfect" version than not have one at all when it comes to the high value ones. Three more to go - and probably at least 3 more years (or 30 more) to get there! |
