Can Anyone Use This..will Swap !

another one I came accross..i don't need it-

will swap for a used truck or whatever !

My first guess is that this is not a postage stamp. It is most likely a revenue stamp.
What information can you supply about it?
Thank you

I'd like to put my name on that Phil.....Thanks !

Welcome to the forum, halflizard


It is indeed a Revenue stamp.
Listed in the J Barefoot catalogue under "Chancery Court"
catalogue number 24 p16 or 44 perf 14
Occurred when petitions could be brought before the court of the chancellor of the king when the common law courts failed to satisfy.
(notably cumbersome and expensive)

CV perf 16 50p 1990 perf 14 35p

Rod, thanks for the info...sorry the old busser beat you to the keyboard !!

Foiled again! curse you Red Baron.

Hi halflizard,

The newest edition is the 5th and it's now called United Kingdom Revenues.

Here's the description on John Barefoot's web site:

Following your link shows the cover of the new edition. The denomination of the stamp on the cover is (pound sign) 2.10.0 and this seems unusual to me. Isn't this just another way of indicating two and one half pounds? <two pounds, 10 shillings, no pence>

Halflizard,
No one used to say , or write, £2½ pounds. It was always £2.10s 0d .
I think it's the same in many places.
I don't see $2½ or DM2½ either....that's how it was.

By the way:

Pound [£] = Left Alt pressed down and right 156
½ = Left Alt pressed down and right 171.

Philb.....how much do I owe you for the stamp in discussion ??
And has Jopie received her envelope yet ?????

Londonbus1.....Loved the Sterling currency

LondndonBus, just got in and found your letter with the windmills and tulips for Jopie...very generous of you..i will send out a few things Monday..perhaps you will still be in Israel when they arrive ! phil
