Revenues. 1867 De La Rue proposals for using overprinted Indian Revenues; STRAITS/ SETTLEMENTS overprints on India Customs 1a, Receipt 1a (blunt lower left corner), and Share Transfer 1a, 2a and 3a (each with one or two straight edges). This scheme would have afforded an inexpensive option for a wide range of different appropriations for the new Colony, but it was not accepted. Few of these overprint essays survive
