THIS IS HOW THEY DESCRIBET THE STAMP AND WHY THEY
CONSIDERED THE STAMP  RARE AT THAT TIME:
Before Bermuda had its own stamps. postmaster William Perot installed a letter-box
outside the P.O. at Hamilton for pennies and letters when the office was shut. This
scheme did not work, so he struck his postmark on sheets of paper, and sold them at
ld. each. Only 10 are now known.
