1902 a.d....'FOUR CASH' (rubber stamped in violet) surcharged on Five Cash (Perf:10) post card...hardly in use for a few months (2 to 4 months). Very Scarce.
These surcharged cards ceased to exist with the issue of the new Four Cash postcard, with the portrait of the Maharaja Sree Moolam Thirunal in 1902.
The despatch /delivery cds cancel of Trivandrum was uncatalogued in Dr Mooss's book of Travancore. This franking was a revised form of earlier cancel (with the day & time - used only for delivery, which was in use, from 1899 to 1902...day & time).
