Impressed revenue stamps
Essays for impressed revenue stamps and cancels
No impressed revenue stamps of Perak are recorded as issued stamps but a hand-painted essay inscribed Treasury Teluk Anson One Hundred Rupees (sic) is known as illustrated here. Also shown are three similar Treasury cancel essays without face value.
All four essays are based on a tiger's head design, drawn in vermilion and white on brown laid paper. The cancel essays are dated 24 March 1896 and the 100 rupees essay is dated 31 March 1896.

Notes:
1. J101 and J104 are known imperforate as overprint essays produced by De La Rue. A similar pair of unadopted essays exists with the overprints in narrower font.
2. J108 was not issued without the Judicial overprint.
3. Forbin erroneously lists J101/109 as being overprinted in red.
4. Barefoot lists the 50c dull purple and slate-black overprinted as J101/9 but I believe this is an error. A complete set of J101/9 is included in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Collection in the British Library and the only 50c in the set is green and black.
5. J111 is known used only in Selangor.
6. Recorded usage: J101 - Jun 1897 to Jun 1899, J102 - Aug 1898 to Oct 1899, J103 - May 1897 to Sep 1900, J104 - May 1898, J105 - Jan 1898 to Jul 1899, J106 - Nov 1897 to Dec 1899, J107 - May 1897 to Jul 1899, J108 - Jun to Jul 1897, J109 - Jul 1897, J111 - Apr to Oct 1901, J121 - Sep 1901.
