Airport Tax
A1
2007 (first recorded). Inscribed Airports Authority Official Passenger Departure Receipt. Issued at Piarco International Airport. Imperf. Security number sideways at right, reading upwards.

The $100 fee comprises $75 Departure Tax plus $25 Airport Security Fee.
Fee and Free Fee
F1, F3 and two unadopted essays (see note 2 below)
Forged ½d bisect and 1d (images from Barrow)
1889 (earliest recorded usage). Trinidad postage stamp of 1883-94 (portrait of Queen Victoria) locally overprinted either FEE or FREE in seriffed capitals.
F1. 1d carmine (opt FEE)
F3. 1d carmine (opt FREE with R deleted in manuscript to make FEE)
Notes:
1. It seems logical that F3 must exist without the R deleted though it is not recorded anywhere.
2. The illustration above right (reproduced from Marriott, Medlicott and Ramkissoon) shows the 2½d bright blue similarly overprinted though in a shorted, wider seriffed font, plus the same stamp with a bar cancelling halfpenny in the value tablet to produce a 2d on 2½d surcharge. These were prepared for use but not issued, though a postally used example (presumably by favour) of the latter is known.
3. Illustrated at right is a 1d carmine overprinted FEE in wider font than F1, plus a ½d dull green postage stamp bisected and surcharged Fee ½d. I follow Barrow in regarding these as forgeries, though the ½d bisect is listed in Morley's catalogue.
4. Earliest recorded usage: January 1889 (F3).
F1. 1d carmine (opt FEE)

F11/20
F12a se-tenant with F12 (image from Barrow)
1884-95 (recorded usage). Postage or postage due (3d) stamps of Trinidad, some specially printed in previously unissued colours, overprinted FEE in sans-serif capitals or surcharged also by De La Rue in London. Perf 14. Wmk Crown CA (½d to 1s) or Crown CC (5s to £1).

F18. 5s dull purple (blue opt)
F19. 10s on 5s dull purple (carmine opt)
F20. £1 on 5s dull green
Notes:
1. Barrow notes that the ½d dull green and 1d carmine are commonly found with postal cancels, and suggests that they were originally issued as postage due stamps rather than revenues. Apart from these two values, the rest of the set was not issued in these colours without FEE overprint.
2. Morley lists the 5s on blued paper, which I have not seen.
3. The Postage Due 1d with the same overprint (listed by Barefoot as an issued stamp with only one known example) is an unadopted artist's essay based on a 3d stamp with the figures 3d painted out in white and 1d handpainted on top.
4. Barefoot also lists the 5s overprinted in black rather than blue. Although I have seen examples of F18 with overprints which might be described as deep grey, in my view these are shades of the blue overprint and not the true black found on F11/12 and F14/15.
5. Earliest recorded usage: May 1884 (1d carmine), 1892 (3d), March 1889 (6d), September 1888 (1s), June 1887 (5s), January 1889 (10s), May 1894 (£1).

National Insurance
Note: the National Insurance stamps of Trinidad and Tobago are known only as mint examples or with Specimen perfin, both of these emanating from the printer's archive. It is not known for certain which of the stamps in this section, if any, were actually issued. The sequence of sets as listed here seems the most logical one, but all the dates are guesses.
N1/9
c1970s. Inscribed Trinidad and Tobago National Insurance in oval around coat of arms, with value in figures shown at top. Each denomination additionally indicated by a code in Roman numerals from I to VIII in centre of stamp. Perf 11½. Printed by Bradbury Wilkinson (imprint at foot of sheet) in sheets of 100 (10 rows of 10). Inscriptions in black.

N6. $3.45 [V] deep olive
N7. $4.35 [VI] red-orange
N8. $5.55 [VII] deep purple
N9. $7.35 [VIII] ultramarine
N11/19 plus $7.35 trial (see footnote)
c1980s. New type without coat of arms, inscribed Trinidad and Tobago National Insurance in oval as before but with design also incorporating the inscription Republic of Trinidad and Tobago National Insurance. 17½ x 21 mm. Value indicated in figures and by a class code in Roman numerals (or letter Z on N11). Perf 13 x 12½. Printed in sheets of 100 (10 rows of 10). Value, class code and oval inscriptions in black.
N11. $1.00 [Z] indigo
N12. $3.30 [I] grey-blue
N13. $4.80 [II] orange
N14. $6.30 [III] green

N16. $10.50 [V] reddish purple
N17. $13.50 [VI] indigo
N18. $17.25 [VII] rose-carmine
N19. $19.35 [VIII] sepia
Note: illustrated above with N11/19 is a $7.35 value in grey-blue with Roman numeral VIII. This seems to have been printed using the same duty plate as N9 above, and was probably a trial designed to check the fit with the new frame plates; the figures of value on N11/19 are slightly smaller. I presume that the $7.35 [VIII] was never issued, but came onto the market along with the other values when the printer's specimen sheets were released from the archive.

N21/29 plus $7.35 trial (see footnote)
c1980s. As previous issue but redrawn, with taller figures of value and lighter background, and changed to perf 13½ x 13. Printed in sheets of 100 (10 rows of 10). Inscriptions as before.
N21. $1.00 [Z] indigo
N22. $3.30 [I] grey
N23. $4.80 [II] brown-orange
N24. $6.30 [III] green
N25. $8.25 [IV] grey-blue
N26. $10.50 [V] purple
N28. $17.25 [VII] rose-carmine
N29. $19.35 [VIII] sepia
Notes:
1. As with the previous issue, it seems that the duty plate of N9 was used along with the new frame plate as a printing trial. The $7.35 trial in grey-blue with Roman numeral VIII is illustrated above with N21/29.
2. No stamp with Roman numeral VI has been recorded for this set.
3. Barefoot lists N21/29 as being issued before N11/19, which is possible but in my view unlikely since I believe the change of type was intended to make the second issue more legible than the first.

R6. £1 mauve
Notes:
1. According to Gibbons, the above stamps were introduced on 1st July 1879, then authorised for postage from 1st August 1879 pending the arrival of dedicated postage stamps.
2. Similar stamps but additionally inscribed Postage below the Queen's portrait were issued from 1880 onwards. To date I have not seen any of these used fiscally.
3. Forgeries of the above issue were produced by Oneglia in the 1890s or 1900s, as illustrated above right. They are easily distinguished from genuine stamps by the coarse impression and the jagged perforations.

R21. 1d dull purple
R22. 3d dull purple and black
R23. 4d dull purple and red
R24. 6d dull purple and blue
Notes:
1. Barefoot lists a printing of the £1 value in purple as well as the mauve issue of 1884, though I have not seen this. Both Morley and Forbin list the 1s in two distinct shades - green/grey-green (Morley) or yellow-green/sea-green (Forbin) - while Barefoot lists a 1s in yellow, which I have not seen. I follow Morley in making one set of the 1d to 6d with dull purple head plate and another set (my R11/15) of all the others; Forbin and Barefoot each put a 1s green in the 1890 series.
2. Morley notes that the 4d is known imperf but I have not seen this.

Adhesive embossed
General notes on the sterling issues (Y1/72):
1. All stamps were printed in sheets of 60 by Somerset House, London. The country name was typographed first in black, then the design added in grey or blue using an inked embossing process. Similar stamps without the Trinidad & Tobago underprint were issued for Great Britain.
2. Each embossing die is identified by one or two code letters, or by a pair of roses. The die code for each stamp is given in brackets in this listing. There are a number of minor variations in design from one die to the next of the same value, relating to the shape of the crown and the position of the die letters. For further details see the articles by McClellan and Seidelman on the equivalent issues for Jamaica.
3. Printing quantities for embossed stamps are documented in the Crown Agents Requisition Books (now housed in the British Library), beginning in February 1922. Unfortunately watermarks and die letters are not distinguished in the records, though in some cases these can be worked out by cross-reference to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office collection. The printings according to the Requisition Books are as follows:

2. The Crown Agents Requisition books record the 4d, 2s, 4s and £1 values as having been reprinted in 1933 and 1934, after the two-line overprint had been introduced. It seems likely that these reprints were made using the two-line overprint - in fact Barefoot lists the 4d (C) and 2s (G) as well as the 6d (AC) - but I have not seen any of these.

Z11. 1d vermilion (1916-33)
a. Redrawn (1921)
Z12. 2d vermilion (1923)
Note: Z11 and Z11a can be distinguished mainly by the shape of the crown. There are other minor differences such as the position of the lower date plugs relative to the ornament at foot.

Note: Barber also lists the 2c in similar type, which I am sure is an error for the 2d (my Z12). He also lists the 4c with die letters B, D, E, F, G, H, I and J, plus the 5c C, G and H. I have not seen these.

Notes:
1. Barber lists a similar type without date plugs, with values from 6c to $120, all in vermilion, registered in 1934, though I believe this is an error for the adhesive embossed stamps in blue (my Y81/91 above).

1. Barber lists a similar type without date plugs, with values from 6c to $120, all in vermilion, registered in 1934, though I believe this is an error for the adhesive embossed stamps in blue (my Y81/91 above).
2. Barber states that Z37 and Z40 along with 16 more values which I have not seen were registered on 1 November 1954. Recorded usage is July 1958.
3. Barber states that Z71/68 were registered on 27 June 1958. Recorded usage is between February 1959 and June 1974.
