Trinidad and Tobago Postage Due Stamp

Trinidad and Tobago · 1905 · 1d

This is a postage due stamp from Trinidad and Tobago, featuring a simple typographic design. The central element is the large numeral '1' indicating the one penny due, framed by ornate scrollwork. The words 'TRINIDAD & TOBAGO' and 'POSTAGE DUE' are prominently displayed, ensuring its function is clear.

Issued in 1905, this was the first postage due stamp for the combined colony of Trinidad and Tobago. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment from the recipient for mail that was sent with insufficient postage.
