This is the oldest stamp that I have in my collection, older than the Penny Black! On this episode of #philately, I explore a beautiful embossed revenue stamp from the UK and the 1786 parchment/vellum document from that it came with.

I don’t collect revenue stamps or embossed stamps specifically but I do collect Queen Victoria stamps and picked up an 1897 Canadian Revenue stamp with Victoria on it. My oldest stamp is either the Canada #24 Queen Victoria from 1868 or the #36 Queen Victoria from 1874 but I can’t quite tell as they are very similar. Thanks again for creating another very interesting video, I loved learning about embossed stamps and about these kinds of contracts!

@mustangrebus 3 года назад

When I lived in Japan, to do some things (like renew your visa, pay for your driver's license) I had to buy a stamp and attach it to the document. I thought that they just didn't want the people who issued the documents to handle the money, but now I think that the government wanted to claim the fees from the Prefectural governments. I might have to do some research. Other topics you could cover 1. Common design types--how they are chosen, which countries participate. I am collecting every stamp from 1970 and there are quite a few common themes to that year (Lenin, Dickens, Year of Education, the Postal Union HQ, ....) and I am curious how they came up with these ideas. 2. Stamps that Scott doesn't list because they contain "no postal value" and how much revenue these generate for a country. 3. Largest to smallest postage stamps--notable examples (and even some in between) 4. Stamp magazines and the history of publishing for the philatelist 5. Stamps with secrets.. (not really sure what that would be, but I expect that there must be some and I would like to know about it. 6. watermarks...or tagging (I don't understand this and I would like to know more about it. 7. Interesting overprints I will stop rambling now.

This video is so informational, so many cool things about this document I could have never guessed! One of the oldest stamps I have in my collection is a green 1c revenue stamp from 1871, from the New York Match company. It has a clipped corner, and I've noticed a lot of these stamps have the same thing. I don't know much about it, though!

@olivermiller2013 3 года назад

I have heard about such documents, but never seen . This is astounding and surprising: They also had a lot of security in these documents. I would never cutting out the stamp from such a historical document. The document as a whole make the worth and shows history we do not know much about it. Very nice video.

There are attemps to celebrate 400 years of revenue stamps with a large exhibit showing the first examples till about present day.

When I started in a plc back in the 80s one of my jobs was to take company documents to the Stamp Office in The Strand. The revenue stamp was embossed directly onto the paper in an orange colour. I hated that job, despite its antiquity.

@briankillen8067 2 года назад

Love your work. I collect widely from the Apollo "insurance covers" to the GRI overprints when Germany lost their colonies in Africa and the Pacific during WWI. Maybe you could look at these. A good intro on the Samoan GRIs can be found in the RNZPS Volume V, that deals mostly with NZ controlled Pacific island Stamps. The Apollo insurance covers started with Apollo 11. It was an idea that if the Astronauts were to die on their mission, at least the families could sell the signed covers and the money used for the children's education. The Apollo 15 covers is when the S**t hits the fan however. Also there are the "Seiger" signed blocks that cost Astronaut Jack Switerg (Of Apollo 13 fame) his seat on the Apollo-Soyuz flight.

@ExploringStamps 3 года назад

Thank you Barry 😊.. There were quite a few details on the cypher and the revenue stamp that I left out (Sooo much to talk about) , I believe the number is referring to the stamp's place on the sheet/plate. Cyphers are apparently very collectable.... since they list the placement on the plate, you can strive to collect a whole plate without difficulty identifying the stamp's location.
