Malaya Revenue Cancels
A friend is doing an inventory of his collection and asked what I knew about
revenue cancels on Federated Malay States stamps. Opting for honesty, I told him I knew very little. When asked to elaborate, I explained that I'd seen several stamps for sale with what were described as revenue cancels and deductions we If the phrase STAMP OFFICE appears, it's a revenue cancel. If either part of the phrase appears, it probably is a revenue cancel. Many cancels described as revenue ones are oval, and many have Maltese crosses in the annular area. From these two facts, I treat all oval cancels and all cancels with Maltese crosses as revenue ones. How badly did I mislead my fellow collector? His interest is likely to be both knowing if my guidelines are correct and if there are any other clues that should lead him to inventory specific cancels as being revenue cancels. Stan |

Just an observation Stan, there is an oval cancellation existing circa 1929-1934 Kuala Lumpur Registration ie postal use. I also have an oval cancellation "Bukit Mera" "Post Office" in violet ink that would suggest postal use, which tends to defeat your corollary Please advise if you would like the images.

Revenue usage is also indicated by handwritten signatures and dates as well as cancels by a straight line date stamp. These usually come from documents. Some examples follow. Here is an example of an oval parcel post cancel on a FMS stamp. http://images.rubystamps.com/WEB/485361.jpg Here are stamps with a round STAMP OFFICE cancel (fiscal use). http://i23.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/16/a5/794e_1.JPG http://www.anthonystamps.com/scpics/4-07030505.jpg Punched hole cancels also show fiscal use. http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imag...zdpMMalaya.jpg Purple oval STAMP OFFICE fiscal cancels. http://images.rubystamps.com/WEB/477807.jpg http://www496.pair.com/wsandrik/eBay4/F946.jpg Purple oval cancels on exchange bill. http://i.ebayimg.com/13/!BP5uR3Q!Wk~$(KGrHgoOKj0EjlLmTLjuBJ2GnO0h9g~~_1.JP G Round postal cancel on $1. http://images.rubystamps.com/WEB/477806.jpg 50c KGV tied by 50c Embossed Revenue on Piece http://www496.pair.com/wsandrik/eBay4/F944.jpg and a similar one on document http://knegal.8m.com/2004/May/PenangRenewalReceipt.jpg Punched hole + hand written date cancel. http://brassdragon.biz/malaya-2dol-41-e5724.jpg Hand written and embossed stamp cancels. http://i.ebayimg.com/20/!BO35r6gB2k~$(KGrHgoH-EQEjlLlwfrpBJw2gV4oQQ~~_1.JPG Straight line cancel. http://brassdragon.biz/malaya-5dol-42-e5725.jpg Is this a postal cancel on this revenue? http://i22.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/79/a4/8a83_1_b.JPG Black oval cancel and small round black fiscal cancels. http://i19.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/39/5f/c742_1.JPG Purple oval and black circle cancels on power of attorney. http://i4.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/3e/2a/83db_1.JPG Cheers Blair |

Possibly not. "Pejabat" translates as department I think. So possibly a rev cancel. Most IPOH cancels on FMS are circular IPOH at the top and FMS at the bottom. "Blair" Is this a postal cancel on this revenue? http://i22.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/79/a4/8a83_1_b.JPG |
