A 1937 Indian Court Fee stamp overprinted for use in Aden.

The British colony of Aden, which is now part of Yemen, issued revenue stamps from 1937 to around 1945. Prior to having its own issues, Aden had used revenue stamps of India.

Court Fee (1937)

The only set of Aden Court Fee stamps was India's King George VI stamps overprinted. Thirteen values were issued, ranging from 2a to 20r.

Notarial (c.1937)

Only one stamp was issued, and it was an Indian 2r King George V Notarial stamp overprinted ADEN at the top of the stamp.

Revenue (1937-c.1945)

The first set of Aden Revenue stamps was India's King George V keytype with the inscription ADEN REVENUE at foot, with values from 2a to 10r. Around 1945, a similar set was issued but with the portrait of King George VI and with values ranging to 50r.
