| Abstract: | As has been detailed in my previous articles in Vol. 12 Nos. 2 and 4 of the P.S.M. Magazine, the use of the "Wavy Grid" as well as of the "M" cancellations, necessitated a dater mark on the back of the entire or letter. There was a vast increase of business at The Malta Post Office, so it was considered necessary that in the near future the canceller and dater be incorporated in one handstamp, thus saving valuable time. In February 1859, a new duplex type was introduced, consisting of postmark and obliteration combined...dated MALTA and "A 25" double stamp. [excerpt] |
