A recent question about Guatemala fiscals has the wheels going in my head....most of us have lots of revenue stamps in our back of book...but I rarely see a revenue or fiscal on paper..doing the work it was supposed to do !! Exceptions I have seen are Canada and the United States..bills etc:

Nothing very exotic, but I have some inherited amongst my Grandparents' papers. Kept by them not for philatelic reasons - but because they never threw anything out! and very glad I am too... Here's a receipt for a lady's kilt bought by my Grandfather in 1943. I wonder how many clothing coupons that cost him and my Grandmother? Oh just realised, that's what it says on the left -"14 Coupons received".  |

I think its "2nd Lt. A. Galbraith" as in "2nd Lieutenant". He would have been the customer who bought the kit. |

Excellent, so did he buy this for your grandmother to wear? I can imagine them enjoying themselves in wartime dances and ceilidhs. |

I don't know, nigel, I would imagine so. In Nov 1943 they had been married just over a year. Unfortunately neither of them is around any more to answer the question. They just left me drawers full of papers to sort, mull over, become absorbed in... |

Queen Victoria revenue. On account to Mrs Smart Abercrombie Street Glasgow 1885 From J Simpson Marriage Carriages and Undertaker. Unfortunately damaged, looks like he charged 8d for mourning letters as well? I think 5 pounds to be expensive in 1885? Poor scan..old scanner.  |

Good call on starting this thread!  Nice One! Here is one of a pair that joined the team not too long ago!
GB KGV 2d. Sideface
Used- June 30 1928
Payment made by- Mr.A.S. Freestone (Grocer)
For Goods from- Palethorpes (producer of cooked meats/sausage)
*previous collector has handily noted the stamp to be a "perfin revenue" directly in the middle of the sheet!
Here is a closer look at the Illustration:
And a closer look at the stamp and the beautifully stylized company name :
I am now keeping my eyes peeled for this type of useage but with my favorite stamp, the 1d. Downey Head......anybody?!
I look forward to hopefully seeing some other interesting items, the ones shown so far are fantastic, and I know there is potential for some real eye candy in this thread!
Have a Good One,

 With the Palethorpes one must assume the secretary had a roll of these attached to the typewriter, She types over the revenue and receipt, after attaching the due revenue, presumably most would be the same value. Quote:
I would like to ask a question...When does Rod sleep ???? About as much as you Phil! You spend a lot of time here  I still have time to read and cycle 25 Kms a day Perhaps because I don't watch much TV  |
