Wrapper - PTPO: 1894 use of Stamp Duty large embossed type Platypus 6d red with blue-lined borders (as used for WS25). Postally VFU, 'Launceston MR 26 94' duplex pmk, endorsed 'book only' & signed by W Petterd, to Adelaide with 'GPO Adelaide 23 MA 94' arrival b/s. (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 plan 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, with only several of each recorded used, although their creation & usage is somewhat shouded in mystery). We previously sold a 2d with edge faults for $1865 in 2017. While this is believed to be the best quality used example of any of the values recorded & certificate can be obtained on request. (P)
