According to Ernest Kehr, "Although the stamps were proposed for use on mail sent from the Green Mansion, Round Hill, to New Bedford, the nearest town, seven miles distant…none was ever found in used condition.’’ However, it is more likely that the stamp was used as a Radio Reception Verification Stamp and, according to H.M. Southgate, writing in reply to Kehr's article "Whenever a wireless message was confirmed by letter throughout the world the stamp would be attached to the envelope. Perhaps on the flap or used inside on an envelope containing the origination." . (Image)
