Possibly a Malay state? Johore, cancellation may be "johor bahru". I do not have a catalogue here. Text appears to be in Arabic and Chinese. Regards, James.
Johore, one of the Federal Malay States, showing Sultan Ibrahim, issued 1922: http://colnect.com/en/stamps/stamp/398625-Sultan_Ibrahim-Johore-Federal_Malay_States
Hello Dick, first let me welcome you to the forum. Please let us know what you collect and where in the world you are based? This morning I managed to find my Scott DVD and found that it was similar to the A7 design showing Sultan Ibrahim but did not find the 6c value. I then searched Colnect for Sultan Ibrahim and found this. Then back to Stamp exchange to find that you had beaten me to the solution, well done. I look forward to more input from you and to seeing some of your collection. Regards, James.
Thank you both for your help! I do not have mitchel catalogue, what is the cat. value for this stamp?
Hi James, and thanks. I'm in Southern California, and I collect almost any stamps that take my fancy! I'm currently collecting early Ghana (1957-) Dick
Possibly the most common stamp Britain has ever issued. Exists with three different watermarks issued between 1952 and 1958,all of them extremely common. Either your scan is of a miserable quality or your stamp is discoloured.The original colour is a strong carmesin-red. The shown stamp is in such a bad state,that the only proper place for it is the waste bin.
Hello Fishmonk, there are large number of varients to the "Wilding" 2½ d pre-decimal penny stamp. They were in use up until our change to Decimal currency in 1971. Regards, James.
