Re: £1 QV Tablet overprinted REVENUE - postal usage?
Hi Michael and welcome to the TPS Online Forum.
The 1s. on £1 QV Tablet overprinted REVENUE was used for a period from 1919.
Craig (Handbook of Tasmanian Revenue Stamps) assigned it a catalog number 7.73
and in the Barefoot catalog it's #55. A 5d on £1 surcharge was issued at the same time.
There must have been a large number of the £1 Tablet left over for use as revenues
at the end of 1912 as one can find the REVENUE overprint cancelled as late as the early 1950s.
