A pair of Martinique 10-centime red Navigation and Commerce stamps (Scott 39) tied on piece by a New York, N.Y., "N.Y.P.O. Paquebot" postmark dated Oct. 24, 1906, is shown in Figure 5.
Occasionally an approved practice, sometimes tolerated, especially when there was a shortage of stamps in a needed denomination. Fractional usages are generally collected tied on cover. One half of a stamp is known as a bisect.
