On the 14th August 1952, two stamps of the 3-anna and the 12-anna denominations and an attractive First Day Cover were issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Scinde District Dawk stamps, the first stamps
issued in Asia in July 1852. The design illustrates the original stamp with a string of camels and
airplane added to symbolize progress in mail transport. The 3-anna stamp is
chartreuse in colour, and the 12-anna stamp is light
brown. These stamps were withdrawn from sale on 1st November 1953. |
