Clearing House Perfins.
I guess the first question to answer is ‘What is a Clearing House’?
Courtesy of the Internet - A Clearing House is a financial institution formed to facilitate the exchange/clearance of payments/securities between two or more parties involved in a financial transaction for specific commodities. Put simply, a Clearing House acts as an independent body between a buyer and a seller, seeking to ensure that the process from striking the deal to final settlement is regulated.
There are four Clearing Houses known to have used Perfins at some stage in their history.
· Railway Clearing House - established in London in 1842.
· Cotton Clearing House - established in Liverpool in the 1870’s.
· Corn Clearing House - established in Liverpool in 1883.
· Tea Clearing House - established in London in 1888.
Interestingly, the Perfins were used in different ways. For example, the Railway Clearing
House perforated GB Postage stamps for their own use, whereas the Cotton Clearing House
perforated their own private ‘stamps’ which were not available to the general public. In
contrast, the ‘stamps’ issued by the Tea Clearing House were available to tea merchants and brokers and as a consequence can be found perforated with firm’s initials. A similar situation also prevailed for the Corn Clearing House.

Hockeynut, much obliged for your explanation...there are times i wish i was a beginner with a few things instead of tens of thousands..i posted the question hours ago and then i had to remember where i put the dang things. You mentioned perfins..but these two guys have no holes in them. I am amazed when i find something i have never seen before in a glassine of the most common stamps.

Philb, you are not the only one.
I have it too.
It is a beast of burden, like Mick Jagger did sing in one of his songs.

".... to remember where i put the dang things. ...."
My frequent problem lately is trying to remember what
it was I was looking for, never mind actually finding
it. Last night I had to send my wife in Dallas a Face
Book message and ask her to call my cell number so
that when it rang I could hear where the little bugger
was hiding. (Under the back of the desk.).
A few minutes later when the cell phone rang I started
to wonder who would be calling me at 10:35 in the evening.
And I am told that this will get worse in a few years.

I found these in a packet of older Great Britain stamps...perhaps someone could tell us about them.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
