I checked the Scott catalogs, but I've been unable to find this Trinidad and Tobago stamp. Please post if you can tell me about it.

Thanks, GeoffHa.

Any more information on a catalog number or catalog value would be appreciated.

If it is card it's a postcard cutout. If thin, it's from a newspaper wrapper.

In either case, it's the third issue of each type, and was issued in 1924.

Thanks, Bobby. It's thin like newsprint.

Traditional catalogues aren't going to give a number for this item. You might know that postal stationery, including wrappers, are found in the Higgins & Gage catalogue. Vol. 17, in the case of Trinidad and Tobago. These catalogues haven't been updated in decades, but you'll still see HG numbers used in auction listings.

Robson Lowe's Encyclopedia covers much of the Empire/Commonwealth, and includes some postal stationery, but it doesn't cover Trinidad and Tobago.

As always, corrections or clarifications are invited.

According to Higgins & Gage, the 1d. brown imprinted stamp was used on three postal stationery items, all issued in 1924:

H&G 3 - 1d. brown on white postcard (thick paper)
H&G 3a - 1d. brown on ivory postcard (thick paper)
H&G E3 - 1d. brown on buff newspaper wrapper (thin paper)

If yours has thin paper it must be a cut-out from E3.

Thanks, Cjd and Halfpenny Yellow, for the additional information and references. I don't collect much foreign, and I don't have any references that would help as y'all have.

Yes, it must be a cutout from H&G E3. The paper is thin, soft, and cheap, like newsprint.

Thanks to everyone!
