These stamps are confusing to understand. At one point the same stamps were being used for Vehicle Registration and Vehicle Tax. They could be found on both documents. Later the same design was used for the Vehicle Tax stamps and no longer was used for Vehicle Registration. Around 1990 new stamps appeared that are listed in the Barefoot catalog under Vehicle Registration, but they have been found on Vehicle Test Fee documents. I have listed them under Vehicle Text Fee stamps until this is clarified.
