New Zealand fiscal and postage stamps were overprinted for various revenue purposes. Some are given below. Counterpart Counterpart stamps were attached to duplicate (i.e. counterpart) documents provided that the full stamp duty had been paid on the original. The counterpart fee was 2s 6d. The first issue was in 1870 and the design was Die I of the 1867 Revenue issue. The stamp on the left is Die II and was issued in 1880.

This index is developing well Asami.
ReplyDeleteA simple easy to use index leading to a more complex sub-index system.
I can see how it works but wonder why you are going to all this trouble.
John.
Thank you John.
DeleteI am happy you like it. I am still not sure of the final form yet. It could be changed.
I was told by Allan that he wanted an index. I think he wanted a list of all his blogs which new ones could be added as they are written. Anne suggested that I do a complete list of all New Zealand stamp issues. We can then just add links as the pages are added. Yes it is a big project but I am enjoying do for him. I like the challenge. Already the writers are using it as a resource for them.
Just a warning to everyone. I have put all the links I know of but there are many I have missed I think. Allan said to complete the index first and then we can go through the blog establishing all the links. Watch the "What is New" page for announcements of my prigress.

Hello , Good night! (right from the other side of your World...)
ReplyDeletesince last July , I have a blog about Stamp Designers of the World and their stamps... It is a gigantic task ,that will last for sure , all my life , but I decided that something had to be done to promote and give the designers the place they deserve in our Hobby.. I started today a post about Leonard Cornwall Mitchell and I used two or 3 images of your blog.. I like you to visit my blog to see if it is possible for you to give me the possibility of using more images, because I have many of them , but I don't have them all...( and As you know there are many designers from New Zealand...)
I think that my work could be useful in the future... I left the post unfinished for you to see the links I leave to the sites of every people that help's me.. I already have the help of sites and anonymous people , and I'm counting also with your's...
Please visit me , if possible in the next day (because I need to continue publishing posts about other designers, and this one only stay at the home page until the next one is published..)... You are always Welcome...!

Yes I've left a comment on your blog.
DeleteAnne/
This is a very useful resource. I have used it to find posts I am interested in. I also noticed there are are not many stamp issues left to do. Are you intending to do them all?
ReplyDeleteJen.
Yes we intend doing every issue. There is only a gap of 14 years left now. Many issues in those years have already been done too.
DeleteAnne.
That gap has closed to 5 years now - 2000 - 2004.

Thank you for this work, it is an excellent reference for me in England, especially as I am trying to finish/update my NZ collection that I started as a kid in Lower Hutt.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment above. I am glad our blog has been of help. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Mark your comment non publish if you don't want it published. We have almost shown every New Zealand stamp except for a couple of issues in the period 2000 - 2003.
