North Borneo Definitives with Queen Elizabeth II - 1954 till 1957

NORTH BORNEO in 1954 issued the unpopular definitives from the reign of George VI, which were adapted for the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. These were placed on sale intermittently from 1954 to 1957 as required. Although widely sold in collectors’ packets, there was little postal demand for the 1c. until 1959, when it became a useful ‘make up’ stamp for revised charges.
