Egypt 1931 - Singer Sewing Machine Co. Booklet with Tied Singer Revenues
Interior pages contain pre-ruled instalment boxes, each originally intended to hold Singer’s proprietary fiscal adhesives. These are fully present: multiple green 50-mills 'Marque de Contrôle / The Singer Manufacturing Co.' revenue stamps, each with serial numbers and the bilingual French-Arabic inscription. Every stamp is tied with purple-violet dated cancellations, the majority reading 1931, with several entries also bearing manuscript dates in Arabic script (e.g., 1-9-31, 3-10-31). The stamps are affixed in neat rows, though some pages show traces of in-period handling-light smudges, small mounting abrasions, and faint ink offsetting around the centre fold. Read more →
