Petach Tikva Jewish colony 1909 issue stamp, denominated 14 Para (Ba #J-1), MH & OG. This adhesive was used as a surcharge applied to mail for the forwarding fee to the Austrian post office in Jaffa; the Austrian post in the Holy Land exclusively handled mail from the Jewish colonies and settlements. The stamp was in use for only a year, between 1909 and 1910, owing to the disapproval of the Ottoman Turkish authorities, who ordered its usage stopped.
