Tazawa kegami Coil stamps Issued on Nov. 1, 1933(Syowa8)

Tazawa kegami Coil stamps Issued on Nov.1 1933(Syowa8) In November 1933 (Showa 8), the Ministry of Communications issued two types of Kegami coil stamps (1.5 sen and 3 sen). This is the first coil stamp in Japan (a stamp that has no horizontal perforations and is connected in a vertical strip). One volume of coil stamps was produced in 500 and 1000 sheets. The number of post offices sold was limited, and there were very few cases actually used for mail.
