Revenue Scans : Worldwide

Nice additions, Bob. I especially like your Egypt. Looks to be in good condition. (Often those aren't, for some reason. The method of use, perhaps?)

Amazing! I've read all pages in this topic and there's not a single revenue from Venezuela.

My Revenge!










(i'm still missing Sello 2 and Sello 7 and the pasaporte Cuatro Reales as well)

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. And welcome to the Forum!

Thank you very much!

One more to the list:


The 5 BOLIVARES has a nice price, even when nobody is really sure this was really used or not so they are probably cinderellas...

Fantastic stuff will
Thanks for posting.

I don't think I have one single example of an
Venezuelan Cinderella either!

Members on SCF have posted these over time
which I cannot Identify, can you assist?
(I have chapter and verse on the middle one,
but not in a language I understand)

Hurt us some more will -- we can take it!

And welcome to SCF.

Welcome Will, Did you exhibit those early revenues at a stamp show ?

This thread needs a bump...

Another Imperial Russia...




These Russian revenues are sharp...high production values...

A few high value Victorians from British India:

500R? Do they go bigger, or is that it?

Not sure: there might be a Re1000 stamp as well. Still, Re500 was equivalent to about $US300 at the time, so a fairly high value.

The "Know all men" is standard language for a legal document's preamble...must've been quite the contract back in the day, to draw a $300 tax.

I'm generally fine with cut squares and soaked stamps, but this is one of those occasions where it would've been interesting to see the whole thing...

This is a manuscript share transfer for 20 shares in the Punjab Sugar Works Co. Limited, from 1885. It has a Re5 duty stamp attached:



I have no idea what the shares were worth, and the document doesn't say. It has a Power of Attorney attached, with a New South Wales 1/- duty stamp, and a certificate by the Justice of the Peace (and stockbroker) for the Power of Attorney. The certificate refers to 'an Act made and passed in the ninth year of the reign of Her present Majesty intituled An Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the Government of New South Wales and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof and for the suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oaths and Affidavits'. They don't write titles of Acts like that any more, more's the pity!

Not sure if this has been posted before but if anyone has any info I'd be grateful.
It's a GB Mayor's Court Proof [so I'm told] but what did the issued item look like and would this Proof copy be listed anywhere ?
