It was a sub-office of the Indian postal service under the supervision of its department at Bombay, and remained so for a period of 62 years. During this period British India stamps of Queen Victoria were also known used. In 1933 it was decided to use overprinted stamps in Bahrain so that the country could have a distinct postal identity. Thirteen values of Indian stamps having the portrait of King George V up-to the values of 5 rupees were put on sale on August 10th, 1933. With the partition of India in 1947, the administration of the Bahrain post office was taken over by the Pakistan postal department. In April 1948 the British Postal Agency took over the postal service. In 1957 the Indian currency was decimalized and the stamps in “annas” were cancelled and new currency "naye paise" were replaced the old values. . . . A number of local stamps were issued between 1953 and 1961 which, whilst intended only for domestic mail, are known used on international mail. These stamps all depicted Shaikh Sulmanbin Hamed al-Khalifa and are similar in design to the later 1960 series. ... A number of cinderella and bogus stamps have been issued over the years including official traffic safety labels available free from Bahraini post offices in 1981 and a bogus Bahrain Camel Post series between 1986 and 1990. The Camel Post series was based on the famous desert postman stamps of Sudan and sold in aid of a home for disabled children.

The Belize City Post Office has had a chequered history, particularly as regards disastrous fires. The Post Office originally seems to have been housed in the court House, but was later to be located on Regent Street, where in 1909 it was completely destroyed by fire, along with all the postal records. Stocks of postage stamps were held at the Treasury and were thus saved. The Post Office was then set up in the Council Chamber in the Public Buildings. On the evening of Saturday, 17 August, 1918, a disastrous fire broke out between the General Post Office and the District Commissioner’s Office. It spread rapidly to the Court House and adjoining buildings; the fire raged throughout the night. The General Post Office and all its equipment was completely destroyed, along with the stamp stocks in the Post Office was then temporarily located on Albert Street, and in fact was to remain there until the new Post Office was erected as part of the Public Buildings in 1930’s. The Post Office moved to its present site in the 1940’s and was housed in the Paslow Building. The Paslow Building was destroyed in a fire on September, 2002. The Post Office then took up full residence in the Biddles Building where only the Parcel Office was housed. (Ref. A Postal History Of Belize by: E. W.

Later with the transformation of colonies into nation-state and the transfer of powers and responsibilities to national leaders, the Dahomey state has recognized the value and importance of the services provided by the public service of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones (PTT).

This post office, run by the Sawarak Government, operated a monthly mail service to and from Kuching until early 1907; and copies of Sawarak stamps bearing Brooketon cancellations are known throughout this period. . . .

As Brunei was neither a member of the Universal Postal Union of the Straits Settlements Postal Union these stamps, which had been printed in Glasgow by the firm Maclure Macdonald and placed on sale that day, were only valid for use within the State of Brunei. Mail service of the the State was through Labaun, and all letters beyond Labuan had to be additionally franked with Labaun stamps. Very little is known about the postal service of this period . . . A government postal service was set up in 1906 (Treaty of Friendship) with the appointment of a British Resident; and Brunei was admitted the the Straits Settlements Postal Union. . . a post office opened 11 October 1906 (as part of the Custom House) . . and . .used overprinted and surcharged stamps of Labaun until new stamps arrived from London...
