This stamp was specially issued for obtaining special postmarks. The design is simple so as not to detract attention from the postmark, and the colour sufficiently light so that it does not overshadow the postmark.

The collector affixed one of these stamps to either an envelope or a card or even a piece of paper, and the postal clerk would oblige by cancelling the item with whatever special postmark was in use at that particular time. The surtax on this stamp represents the fee for this service. The stamp could also be used as a normal 3pf stamp.
