My grandfather had interest in a shingle mill and I inherited the stock ledger. Whenever someone transferred shares or the company issued shares they affixed revenue stamps and someone signed them. I don't know who signed it, maybe the Co. Secretary?-- then someone else later? The details of the process are a mystery to me.

This one of my favourite revenue usages: the Barwani Ranjitsingh 1 Anna red of circa 1915



on the quittance roll for the Barwani State military band, and a later, Devi Singh 1 Anna red used on the quittance roll for the British Indian Post office postman at Rajpur in Barwani State



showing he received the princely sum of 20 Rupees 15 Annas for his labours between the 6 and 31 January 1936 - a bit better than $US5
