Singapore Postage Due Stamp, Red and Black

Singapore · 1972 · 1c

This definitive postage due stamp features a simple, functional design with the denomination '1c' prominently displayed in the center. The word 'SINGAPORE' is printed at the top, and 'POSTAGE DUE' at the bottom, all within an ornate frame. The bicolored design, with a red frame and black center, was common for postage due stamps of this era to make them easily distinguishable from regular postage.

Issued in 1972, this was part of Singapore's first set of postage due stamps after its full independence. Postage due stamps were affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage, indicating the amount the recipient had to pay upon delivery.
