It is doubtful whether ever before there has been an occasion on which a New Zealander might despatch three letters, postmarked with the same date date, bearing three different penny stamps. The superseded Georgian issue, still in circulation from stocks bought prior to May 1, the new pictorial penny (kiwi), and the broad jubilee stamp, issued on May 6, are all negotiable to-day. All three are red—indeed, it is hard to remember when New Zealand did not have a red “penny.” The 1923 map issue, the “Britannia” (Georgian and Edwardian varieties), the Victory set, the Victorian pictorials, even the recent health stamps—all the penny issues were red. Fistsals. officials and the early “fullface Queens” excepted, has there ever been a. penny New Zealand stamp of any colour other than red?
