S.A. Taylor - BNA Bogus - Barnard's Cariboo Express



In March 1863, Francis Barnard formed the "Cariboo Express" operating between Yale and Lillooet and the Cariboo mines.
The adhesives are of many types and are both PAID and COLLECT and were used until 1871
A very scarce original
There are apparently 3 forgery/bogus types
One from an unknown source, one from J.W.Scott and the most common one from Taylor

Taylor Bogus issue
Produced in 1864
The first three varieties (green, yellow, brownish red) were printed from a composite form of 19 other locals
