 Wrapper - PTPO: 1892-95 Stamp Duty large embossed type Platypus 3d red with blue borders (as used for WS25). Superb fresh UN, mnr gum stain at top & small tear on back, only folded once. (In November 1882 the new Stamp Duties act made both embossed & adhesive stamps valid for all purposes. This meant that in addition to the St George & Dragon, & small Platypus adhesive stamp duty issues, the large Platypus embossed Stamp Duty designs were also officially authorised for postal use, although that might not have been the intention of the postal authorities. Thus the Platypus embossed issues could be legally used on postal articles, & examples of the 1d, 2d & 6d values are known, only several of each recorded mostly used, although their creation & usage is somewhat shrouded in mystery). Extremely rare. 2024 Ceremuga AIEP photo cert. (P)
