![]() ![]() Northwest Beach, near Kakariki, Waikoa Island. In 2019, Waikoa Island issued a set of 15 stamps, for fiscal use primarily. 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. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 7.25 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 12 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 17 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 56 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 100 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 200 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 300 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue, 500 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue: 2,000 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue: 15,000 reis. ![]() Waikoa Island 2019 postal-fiscal issue: 1,000,000 reis.

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.

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: |

Here are the restored images for my 1908 one sheet British Passport signed by the then Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey. He was the longest continuously serving person in that position from 1905 to 1916. He played a key diplomatic role in trying to avoid The First world War but, of course, failed.
There are some interesting Russian revenues on the reverse, shown on the last 2 scans. The last scan is shown upside down since this is how the revenue has been applied: |
