I can not find this stamp, in the SG catalogue - 2013 edition or the Yang Stamp & Postal History Catalogue. Any ideas or suggestions please.

I also don't know how to classify it: Corner block? Block of 3 or ...

Thanks

These are Hong Kong revenues.

A 5c green revenue was briefly valid for postal use in 1938, so it shows up in many catalogues...the 15c is not listed as it was (apparently) not authorized for postal use.

These revenues are listed in the Commonwealth Barefoot & Hall Catalog (now just Barefoot) as "Receipts" #4 (multiple script CA watermark) or #9 (script CA), both of nominal value.

Thanks for this. I had found the 5c and know it was briefly due to a shortage of stamps. I will have look at the Barefoot catalogue.

Can you also enlighten me on how this corner or block is described.
