Parcel Post 1957

Linns : "Probably the most obscure of the postal tax listings is the parcel post postal tax stamp. Chile's green 15-peso President Prieto parcel post postal tax stamp, Scott QRA1, shown in Figure 8, was required on all parcels entering and leaving Chile during the period of its validity in 1957. The surtax went to the Prieto Foundation, probably to an unnumbered account in a Swiss bank."

Telegraph Stamps Used for Postage 1891 (4)

Telegraph Stamps 1883
Set of 6 (T1-T6) Byrum Catalogue.

The tough thing on those telegraph stamps is finding them with the proper cancels to show they were actually used on one of the days when they were allowed. Most either have indistinct cancels or telegraph cancels.

Agreed Billsey,
I have yet to find one that passes muster.

I am having more success with the 1880 & 1900 Fiscals used as postage,
shall post them today sometime.
