King George V 1 1/2d Postage and Revenue Stamp

This item is a brown-hued postage and revenue stamp featuring a profile portrait of King George V. The stamp has a rectangular shape with perforated edges, typical of early to mid-20th-century philately. The central design showcases the monarch's head facing left, enclosed within an oval frame. Above the portrait, a crown is depicted, and on either side, the numerical denomination '1 1/2' is shown, flanked by the words 'POSTAGE' on the left and 'REVENUE' on the right, curving along the top edge of the oval. Below the portrait, across the bottom border of the stamp, the denomination is spelled out as 'THREE HALFPENCE' in capital letters. The overall color is a consistent reddish-brown, indicative of stamps from the British Empire during this period. The stamp exhibits a postmark, which appears as several parallel, wavy horizontal lines across the face, canceling its use. The perforations are reasonably intact, though some wear is visible. The image quality makes it difficult to discern exact paper texture or watermarks, but the printing appears clear and well-defined for its age. The condition suggests circulated use, consistent with a stamp that has been affixed to mail.
