In 1959, new bilingual cancellations were introduced: Types 34,
35 and 36 were registered in the G.P.O. Impression Book on June 26th
and it is interesting to note that the Proof Strikes were made from
incorrectly assembled date-stamps. Manama 1,2 and 4 show the
Arabic numbers 2,4(inverted) and 1, respectively; and Awali 1 and 2
have the Arabic numbers reversed. In later use, Manama 2 may be
found with a 6-point star in place of the Arabic “2” above the date;
and Muharraq usually has a thick sans serif “1” in place of the Arabic
figure. Types 37, 38 and 39 were registered in the Impression Book
on August 26th.
