In 1908 Barcelona's City Council issued two commemorative local revenue stamps. They go in two values 0.10 and 0.25 pta (Spanish currency up to 2001)and show a middle age king sitting on his throne and a medieval knight.
The text, in Catalan, translates as "1208-1908 7th Centenary of James the 1st The Conqueror". Being this lord, one of the most famous Catalan kings who, for instance took Majorca and Valence from the Moors. Perhaps the reason of this, unique issue, is that a conspicous philatelist, Francesc Carreras Candi, was among the city councilors. As my father says: better to have friends even in hell...

One of my favorite threads...more great stuff, everyone.

Here are a couple Mauritius Insurance revenues. Slightly heavy on the cancels, but the only ones I have...

A motley collection of ne'er do wells, and back of book (B.o.b)
from the land of the long white cloud....

A lovely art deco influenced railway label...

Very nice smauggie,
missed that before.
France must be on the right,
waring the Phrygian cap.

The NZ railway charges is new to me. Kinda plain, but interesting in its own right.

For future students of the discipline:

Brodie, J. W. New Zealand railway charges stamps: design and printing. Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand, 1983.

James William Brodie, OBE (October 7, 1920 – April 11, 2009) was a New Zealand geologist, oceanographer and amateur historian and philatelist.

Inspired to become a geologist after witnessing the Napier earthquake first-hand while at Napier Boys' High School he joined the Lands and Survey Department in 1937, moving to the DSIR in 1945. In 1949 he got his MSc in Geology from Victoria University College. He was a founding staff member of the Oceanographic Institute in 1954 and led it 1958-1977.

Ooh, that ten-shilling block on the cover is...what's the word? Cracking? A ripper? I take back what I said about plain design.

10/- block of 4 imperf,
I can imagine what that would go for now.

I'll pass on the report when the book lands in Oz.

Mozambique revenue...I haven't been running across a lot of these, but maybe I've been looking in the wrong places.




Don't know the first thing about it...

Meanwhile, I've been awash in these...

I don't usually go out and willfully buy revenues, but I can make an exception for a delight such as this Bhor 1 Anna



Just to make life more interesting, it was also printed in red



which was the same colour as this stamp issued for postal use



And before anyone is tempted (Rod222 ...), I've heard every possible Bhor joke already, and they're wearing thin by now.

Edit: If you were wondering why the two revenues were kept on piece and not soaked off, a glance at what happened to the third (postal) usage, which has been soaked should answer that question. Stamps that were printed in watercolour don't take kindly to soaking.

Like the Mozambique Issue,
a first for moi,
Liberty looks a little apprehensive, however.

Your Chile Telegraph is listed in Byrum~Telegraph.pdf


For your Chile,
Google for a *.pdf
Carvallo-Fernandini.pdf

In 1904, some Chilean telegraph stamps were OVERPRINTED
"correos", across the top, and used for postage. If you
look at Chile Scott #59, you will see your telegraph stamp,
but with the postal overprint. The catalogue value of #59
is 0.25 mint 0.20 used.

There is also a specialized catalogue for Chile, called
the Heise colour catalogue. The last edition that I know
of is 2002/3 (price £25.00), but I do not know if it
covers revenue and telegraph stamps, or just postage stamps.

I hope that this has been helpful.
