FIRST OF EXCHANGE

Image from the
author's collection
The wording is strongly
suggestive of the practice of sending three
separate bills of exchange, any one of which could
be used to transfer money, the second and third
not being honoured. Ceylon issued special
tall-format revenue stamps in strips of
three from 1874 to the end of Edward VII's reign
with First, Second and Third of Exchange
labels.Thus, "First of Exchange". The Straits used
similar tall-format stamps until 1882 and
maintained separate series for Bills of Exchange
and Judicial fees. However, by the time of Edward
they had gone in for postage/revenue -- i.e. with
the issue of 1902. [John Wilson, Sept.2009]
