Revenue Scans : Worldwide

1st No such thing as too much caffeine My last cup of Coffee for the day is normally about an hour before bed.


Rod, did you read my post from 10:29 last night?

Revstampman's silk tax I have under:

"Effets de commerce et quittances"....translation please?
also "Effigie de Vieillard" ??

rev-

On the Kenya judicial, is there something following "Kenya" on the overprint, or is that an optical illusion? It almost looks like there could be a "1" there...

Japan: Inspection label for bowler hats:

I have a simmiler inspection stamp for pencils. I'll have to look for it.

I Should have put I have been told "Silk Tax" I don't know for sure.

Collin,
I took another good look at the Kenyan Judicial. That is part of the cancel, Not the overprint.
By the way I'll email you later.

@rod222

Effets de commerce et quittances is 'commercial effects and receipts'.
Effigie de vieillard is 'effigy of an old man'. How one relates that to stamps is beyond me.
I'll write to a friend in Paris in the morning and will report any explanation to this forum.

Yes, we all suffer that Rev
but I guess it may well indeed have be used for that.
I once was told a French blood donation issue was
another country!
As long as we filter the info over years and end up with
a reasonable interpretation.


Tony: Perhaps the vignette on the stamp is an old man?
used for social security instruments, rather high values though, a right curly one that.

Yes I did, Rev, it may be just "incomplete" Barefoot,
but I'm hoping for you, an unlisted issue!
Maybe a world cruise

Unlisted maybe.




Doubt it, I'm Not that lucky!

As promised I did get in touch with my contact in Paris but unfortunately without success. My friend can no more give an explanation for rod222's effigie de vieillard in Forbin than I can.

I went through all Japan in Forbin and nowhere did I find a stamp with an image of an old man. However, for what it's worth, I did find a listing in Forbin of another country with an entry effigie de la Reine Victoria without a single stamp bearing Queen Victoria's image anywhere in the rest of the country listings.

So now I'm as confused as rod222 as to Forbin's description.
