Note: The single usage of the 9d. value is unusual, as the stamp was primarily for telegraph and parcel purposes. A practical 9d. rate occurs in the Jubilee period only as a double rate (1 oz.) foreign destination cover posted at either Lombard Street or the London Chief Office, in the designated half-hour to require a late fee charge of 4d. - this cover was so posted, confirmed by the clear datestamp time slugs
