Prelude to and Causes of the American Revolution

Inside #C826: British revenue stamp for use in America #RM31

In 1765, the British Parliament passed An Act for Granting and Applying Certain Stamp Duties in the British Colonies and Plantations in America, commonly called "The Stamp Act of 1765." Parliament had imposed taxes through the use of embossed revenue stamps, also known as impressed duty stamps, in Britain since 1694. In addition, between 1755 and 1757, Massachusetts colony instituted a tax using embossed revenues, while New York colony imposed a similar tax between 1757 and 1760. Despite the history of taxation in the colonies, the Stamp Act generated intense opposition, in part because the taxes were imposed at higher rates in the colonies than in England. The Stamp Act required that certain court documents, contracts, and property transfers be executed on stamped paper or they would be subject to penalties and would not be enforceable.

Lou Wrote: There were only two known examples of the 1925 “Black Honduras” air mail stamp [reproduced on both Nicaragua C716 (1976) and Honduras C1075 (2000)].  The scan on the right is the stamp — now called the “Santa Fe Black Honduras”-- on both, and in fact, is now the only one in existence; the other stamp, the “Ustaritz Black Honduras” was lost in NYC almost 10 years ago and presumed destroyed.  Cherrystone Auctions sold the C12 rarity— stain and part gum notwithstanding, on January 11 2012 for $149,500.

Inside #C917: Newfoundland #C1O

Footnoted after C917:

Inscriptions on back printed on top of gum give description of illustrated stamp.
