NATIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY (NTC)
| |||||||
| The NTC issued stamps which would allow non-subscribers of
the NTC to use the companies call boxes. Subscribers could also
purchase stamps which could be attached to bills, as payment. Stamps were available in the values 1d, 3d, 4d, 6d and 1s. The head on the stamps was that of the Company Chairman, Colonel Robert Raynsford Jackson. Stamps were discontinued in 1891 as coin boxes improved.
