Electric Telegraph Forms

#1 Post by Revenuer » Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:06 pm

I am sure many of you have a small stash of Electric Telegraph forms.

Below is one i have that shows the rates so i thought i would share it here.

Looks like it was sent from the Ship Hotel 12-11-1874

Bottom left corner of the front shows a print run of 10,000 in 8/1874.

So where do these fit in philatelically? is it a REVENUE as it IS a fee for a service similar to Postal Notes

Maybe others can add to this thread.
