POSTAGE DUES: 1956 1d ultramarine HANDSTAMPED IN VIOLET (CC D1). VF/UM example. Rare & exceptional, a key stamp of the Territory. This is one of the few known examples WITHOUT the "B&K" backstamp indicative of its source from original Post Office sale rather than the "Bridger & Kay Sheet" from whence most known such stamps emanate. Photo-cert: BPA. See additional image and of certificate below. These postage dues and the circumstances of their issue are discussed in a footnote in SG.
