Morocco Agencies 1903-05 1p black and carmine, watermark CA, upper right corner block of 4 with plate number '1', SG22.
A fine mint positional block of four with original gum.
A very scarce and attractive positional multiple, with only 44 sheets printed.
Following a decision to identify the exact revenue derived from the Morocco postal service, separate stamps were needed for the Morocco Agencies. This requirement further became necessary because of a Revision of Fees Ordinance in Gibraltar, which required all fees to be collected in Sterling, while the Morocco Agencies continued to use Spanish currency. This led to the introduction of Gibraltar stamps with 'Morocco Agencies' overprints.
