Type 35

I would like to show you an example of this overprint on a stamp but, as yet, I have been unable to locate one.

The origin of this overprint is currently unknown.  As this is only listed as appearing on a single stamp (1d. red Plate 117) it may be that it is in fact an overprint used for receipt purposes rather than a true protective overprint.

1868. Unofficial overprint type 35 in black.
