It was in 1946 also, on June 1st, that Bahrain’s second post office was
opened, on an experimental basis, at Muharraq. From that date until
March 31st, 1948, it used Type 13 and 14 cancellations on both
registered and ordinary mail. The amount of mail sent from this office
was not great and only two covers have been recorded. Type 13 is
known on a cover to USA (4.10.47) bearing a 2a. and a pair of 8a.
stamps (BAHRAIN overprints on India); and is also known struck on
various dates between 11.7.46 and 10.12.47 in a Post Office Savings
Bank Book. Type 14 was used to cancel a similar R1 on a cover to
England (30.10.46).
