Morocco Agencies Overprint
Morocco Agencies · 1898 ·
This stamp is part of the series issued for use in British post offices operating in Morocco. The base stamps were contemporary issues of Gibraltar, which were then overprinted with 'Morocco / Agencies' to designate their specific use. The initial overprints were done locally in Gibraltar, leading to variations.
The Morocco Agencies were a system of post offices established by the United Kingdom in Morocco, starting in 1857. These overprinted stamps, first issued in 1898, regularized postage from these foreign offices until Morocco established its own independent postal service.
