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 Holyland exclusively handled the mail from the Jewish colonies and settlements. The stamp was in use for only a year, between 1909-1910, owing to the disapproval of the Ottoman Turkish authorities who ordered its usage stopped.
