Oxford and Cambridge college stamps
text:
From 1871 to 1886 certain Oxford and Cambridge colleges issued their own stamps to be sold to members of the college so that they could pre-pay the cost of a college messenger delivering their mail. The practice was stopped in 1886 by the General Post Office as it was decided that it was in contravention of its monopoly.
