In Sierra Leone, the 1½d value paid the first step inland letter rate. Despite almost 1.2 million stamps being
sold, covers with them singularly used are surprisingly difficult to obtain due to low survival rates.
14 January 1954 - Bo to Serabu. Arrival backstamp of 16 January 1954.
Rate of 1½d for first ounce plus 1d per additional ounce effective 1 January 1940 to 31 March 1958.
