Queen Victoria - Postal Fiscal One Penny Issues.

The following images show the genealogy of the 1d Lilac (14 dots), issued 12th July 1881, the first G.B. stamp valid specifically for both postage and revenue (fiscal) use. For simplicity any changes in watermark and paper have been omitted from the family tree, and for ease of display, the stamp perforations on the G.B. fiscals have not been shown!

The New Zealand ‘Stamp Duty’ One Penny

stamp, introduced in 1878, was clearly based on the G.B. ‘IR’ stamp.

Sep-1867



The responsibility for collecting ‘Inland Revenue’ for the government fell to the Post Office, who from 1853 issued a separate series of adhesive stamps for various fiscal uses. Receipt Stamps. A Receipt is simply ‘written confirmation of the payment of money’, a tax for which was levied for amounts of £2 or more. This particular tax was introduced way back in 1783 during the reign of King George III. To facilitate its collection in an ever growing commercial environment fuelled by the Industrial Revolution and expansion of the British Empire, special adhesive stamps were introduced in 1853. The stamps were typographed by De la Rue on paper watermarked with an elaborate cabled anchor (with stock), and perforated 15½ x 15. The first issue, released on 10th October 1853, involved two plates (plates 1 & 2), both of which used a rectangular buckle and no holes in the belt (Die I). The buckle and belt design was altered later on in that year to show (along with other minor variations) two belt holes and an octagonal buckle (Die II). Again, two plates were used (plates 3 & 4), with stamps first reaching the general public in 1854. The various shades encountered are described as light blue, pale turquoise-blue, and pale turquoise-green. Rectangular buckle >> << Octagonal buckle

General instructions for use on a receipt were to:

‘Sign or initial across a penny receipt stamp, not a penny postage-stamp. It is also prudent to add the date, as well as figures showing the amount mentioned in the Receipt’.

This particular example shows a receipt stamp used to settle a bill, dated 28th September, 1854.

Die II Die I



Draft Stamps. A Draft is ‘any document requiring payment on demand’, which by an Act of 1853 was taxed at a flat rate of one penny. An adhesive stamp was designed specifically for the purpose and introduced late in October 1853. The design is somewhat similar to the Receipt stamp discussed previously, and were also typographed by De la Rue on paper watermarked with an elaborate cabled anchor (with stock), and perforated 15½ x 15. Just three plates were used, plate 1 (which was un-numbered), plate 5 and plate 6. The shades involved include ochre, and pale olive-green. Combined Draft & Receipt Stamps. No doubt as a cost saving measure, a dual purpose adhesive stamp was introduced in 1855 that could be used for both Drafts and Receipts. This particular die was engraved by Jean Ferdinand Joubert* and is a step up from the dies made for the issues it replaced. The stamps were typographed by De la Rue initially on blued paper watermarked with an elaborate cabled anchor (with stock), and perforated 15½ x 15. However, the watermark was later changed to a simplified anchor design, and may be found on both white (1856) and blued (1857) paper. The shades encountered include reddish-lilac, dull purple, grey-lilac, and lilac - a colour the nation would see used for the ‘one penny postage and revenue stamp’ for over 20 years from mid 1881 through to the end of 1901 - making this fiscal stamp the first ‘penny lilac’. These fiscal stamps, which first appeared 25th March 1855, may be found on a variety of documents, and are usually cancelled in manuscript in the same way that the earlier ‘Draft’ and ‘Receipt’ stamps were.

* Ferdinand Jean Joubert de la Ferté (1810-1884). A refugee from Napoleonic France, he was an engraver, photographer and inventor. He engraved dies for postage and revenue stamps for the United Kingdom (e.g. the surface printed 4d Carmine), as well as the Confederate States.



General purpose Inland Revenue Stamps. In 1860 the one penny Tax on Drafts and Receipts was extended to include certificates of Birth, Baptism, Marriage, and Death. The ‘Inland Revenue’ net was later increased even further to include a wide variety of contractual agreements including domestic insurance policies, and many other ‘paper transactions’. As with the preceding series of fiscal stamps, the Post Office was required to make the stamps available to the general public. A ‘Provisional Issue’ was released on 3rd April 1860 using the ‘Draft Payable on Demand or Receipt’ stamp overprinted with the words ‘INLAND/REVENUE’ in red, which was quickly replaced in May 1860 by a newly designed, and quite handsome, ‘Regular Issue’. This new stamp was surface printed by De la Rue in sheets of 240 stamps, arranged in 20 horizontal rows of 12, on paper watermarked ‘anchor’, perforated 15½ x 15. The overprinted ‘Provisional Issue’, available for only five or six weeks, is somewhat scarce, but the ‘Regular Issue’ is much more easily come by. Changes to the watermark took place in November 1864 (anchor 16 mm high), and again in 1867 (anchor 18mm high). Used examples encountered are generally cancelled in manuscript, although some commercial firms started to overprint their stamps as the ‘Swan & Edgar’ example (c1865) illustrated below shows. Also illustrated is the corner of a Marriage Certificate dated 8th July 1867.



The preceding fiscals are unlikely to be found with a Perfin, and certainly none have been reported to date*, but all of what follows are known perforated with company initials. * Well that’s the way it was when the ‘Postal Fiscal’ section was written in December 2014,

but in June 2015 a chance discovery was made that changed all that! Shown below is a mint vertical pair of One Penny Lilac ‘Draft Payment on Demand or Receipt’ stamps perforated with the ‘Carpet Die’ “J.H.H” (J3675.01). The stamps are on slightly bluish paper with the single-line stock anchor watermark, first issued in 1857. As the preceding sections show, this stamp was replaced in April 1860 by a ‘Provisional’ issue of the ‘General Purpose’ Inland Revenue stamp - exactly the same stamp but overprinted in red with ‘Inland Revenue’. This in turn was replaced a month later by the intended ‘Regular’ issue.

The Perfin die is also known on a mint 6d Inland Revenue, with an 18mm high anchor (single-line stock), which was issued in 1867. The advantage of its use on such a large stamp means that a full strike can be seen in all its glory!

The One Penny Fiscal stamp, however, was officially valid for postage from 1st June 1881.

The Perfin is also known on a variety of Queen Victoria postage stamps, used 1880-1901, two of which show part of a Duplex ‘67’ Beverley postmark.

In Bulletin 361 (August 2009), John Mathews followed up on this postmark evidence and offered the following possible user:

Joseph Hannath HOBSON, (born c1851), Borough Treasurer and Treasurer to the Board of Guardians of the East Riding Lunatic

Asylum, Hengate House, Beverley.

The suggestion is that both the One Penny Fiscal stamp and the 6d Inland Revenue stamp were perforated with “J.H.H” once they became valid for postage, so shortly after June 1881.



Definitive ‘Postage Stamp’ Sized Issues. Issued on 1st September 1867, this was the first of the ‘Postage Stamp’ sized Inland Revenue one penny stamps. In total, twelve plates were used, numbered 1-12. As usual, the stamps were surface printed by De la Rue on paper watermarked with a small anchor (12mm high), in sheets of 240 (arranged in 20 rows of 12). Just one example of a Perfin is known on this issue (shown below), along with an upright silhouette of the Perfin (G2410.01M). This came from the very first stamp initialling machine (No. 2607, multiheaded 2x1, completed 3rd April 1868) made by Joseph Sloper after receiving official sanction to perforate Postage Stamps on 13th March 1868. The company who used the Perfin is believed to have been George Hitchcock, Williams & Co,

Warehousemen, St Paul’s Churchyard, London EC. The company also used an ‘unofficial’ underprint as the example on 1d Red plate 140 shows.

In view of the importance of the die, the following image (at 75% full size) is from the relevant Sloper ‘ledger’, and although not stated, the year is 1868. As can be clearly seen, this particular initialling machine came from stock originally ‘fitted up’ with ‘PAID’ dies by Joseph Sloper’s son, Horace Sloper (1845-1876). It was then altered to

perforate (postage) stamps ‘two at a time’ by Henry Arthur Harborow (1838-1916).

Die Proof in black



This stamp design was followed in June 1868 by a less fussy version with clear spandrels. Four different dies (Dies 1-4) were used over time, each of which will be shown in detail later. The printing arrangements remained the same, with the plate numbers continuing the sequence from plate 13 through to plate 144 (and un-numbered plate 145). There was also a change of watermark in January 1881 from the small anchor to an orb during the use of Die 4. These one penny Inland Revenue stamps may be found in abundance, and are usually cancelled in manuscript (m/s). However, some were specifically overprinted by local printers for use by companies and other organisations, while others received ‘rubber’ hand-stamps at the point of use. Some also received Perfins, albeit in much smaller numbers. A list of the Perfins recorded to date on these small, ‘postage stamp’ sized issues may be found at the end of this section. Typical examples of use.

The four dies can be differentiated by observing tiny detail differences, for example the shape and size of the corner ornaments, the length of line down the neck, etc., as shown below.

Die 1 - Introduced in June 1868. Die 2 - Introduced June 1876. Heavy shading under chin. Clear lines below chin. Small corner ornaments. Small corner ornaments, often broken. Four lines of shading in left ribbon. Two lines of shading in left ribbon. Round “O” in ONE. Round “O” in ONE.

Die 3 - Introduced in March 1877. Die 4 - Introduced July 1878. Line halfway down neck. Line down to bottom of neck. Intermediate sized corner ornaments. Long corner ornament. Two lines of shading in left ribbon. Four lines of shading in left ribbon. Round “O” in ONE. Oval “O” in ONE.

The Customs and Inland Revenue Act of 1881 heralded the appearance of an adhesive stamp that could be legally used for both Postage and Inland Revenue (Fiscal) purposes, and as a result the 14-dot 1d Lilac was introduced on 12th July 1881. This was replaced by a 16-dot version on 12th December 1881. This issue is the most prolific stamp in the world to carry Perfins! Once the 14 dot 1d Lilac had been introduced, there was no need for the Post Office to maintain stocks of the ‘old’ fiscal stamps. More than that, the Post Office were also keen to avoid buying back from the general public any stocks of unused fiscal stamps, so from 1st June 1881, the Inland Revenue Act authorized the use of (any) one penny postage stamps for Inland Revenue purposes. The act also states that ...

‘postage may be paid by the use of any penny adhesive stamps not appropriated by any words on the face of them to postage duty, or to any particular description of instrument’.

Thus, a Postal Fiscal is a Fiscal stamp that has been used for postage on or after the 1st June 1881. Although the Act applied specifically to the one penny value, it would appear that the use of higher value Fiscal stamps as prepayment for postage was ‘tolerated’ by the Post Office, as indeed were other stamps such as Telegraph stamps.

Die I - 14 dots Die II - 16 dots



The following list of Perfins found on the definitive sized One Penny Inland Revenue Stamp is correct to 31st December 2016. If you can resolve any of the 24 ambiguous Die 4 watermarks or 34 ‘Die n/k’ entries, or add anything new,
