Revenue stamps and postage stamps are sometimes found on documents. This thread might be a good place to show some of them.
I would like to also include any postcards having detailed and/or official information on them, such as parcel post cards.
To start things off, here is a section from a change-of-address card.
Was this card ever in the mail? It may have been filled out at the post office, then retained there.
Notice that Camilla wrote this on the 27th of December, and that it was postmarked the same day at 4PM. Her change of address was for a duration of one year, which required a fee of 36 shillings. No stamps would have been required for a 3 month duration.
