I recently acquired this Allied Force Permit from 1950. It is a single piece of card folded in three, so it is a little awkward to show the entire document. It was issued in London to Stanley Mee for travel to Austia. It features a $4 travel permit stamp. Here, then, are 3 scans:
Here are other examples of the stamps that I have: |

I love the subtleties that hot-metal presses provide - the spacing of the text, the variations in the weight and density of the printed ink; and the lack of apparent care about getting the block of text bang centre (or even square) on the page.
So often when you see 'aged' layouts mocked up for old-fashioned documents this is lost as it has been produced with modern software and the operator at the keyboard knows no different. Lovely original stuff.

Each is printed by typography in two colours on glossy white paper, and perf 12. Although primarily for tax purposes, they can also be used on mail, as high-value stamps are not printed on the island. Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 7 tanos. Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 42 tanos. Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 4.25 reis. Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 6.25 reis.
