S.G. #6 |
 S.G. #6, 1862 48c Rose, unwatermarked, a very
rare unused example of this key value, warm color, actually far better
centered than typically encountered on the first issues of Hong Kong,
regummed, partly reperforated, still fine; 2000 Brandon certificate (Scott
#6; $2,750.00). (Image) |

S.G. #7 |
 S.G. #7, 1862 96c Brownish grey, unwatermarked, a
fresh mint example of this rare stamp, while centered a bit to bottom right
this is quite typical centering for these notoriously difficult first
issues, o.g., fine; signed Richter (Scott #7; $3,250.00). (Image) |

S.G. #9e |
 S.G. #9e, 1870 4c Slate, watermarked crown and CC,
perforated 12 1/2, an incredibly choice mint example of this
exceedingly rare and notoriously difficult stamp, in fact we believe the
example offered here is among the very finest in existence, as it is
one of the few extant that is completely sound, well centered and with
original gum, its centering is the finest of any example we have seen
offered in recent memory, its color is deep and luxuriant on bright fresh
paper, and its reverse features clean o.g (not toned as often found), with
a minor h.r., extremely fine; an exciting stamp for the finest specialized
collection of Hong Kong or for an advanced collection of British
Commonwealth stamps; signed H. Bloch (Scott #25; $5,750.00). (Image) |

 S.G. #13, 1866 18c Lilac, watermarked crown and
CC, a sound unused example of this rarity, strong rich color, a bit off
center as is virtually every known copy, faint trivial soiling, fine; a
stamp that is missing in even the most advanced collections of Hong Kong
(Scott #17; $4,750.00). (Image) |

S.G. #20 |
 S.G. #20, 1877 "16 cents." surcharge on 18c
Lilac, a most attractive example of this rare and perennially difficult
stamp, being in a much fresher state of preservation than usual, rich
color, large part o.g., centered a bit to left as usual but not
objectionably so, overall very fine for this (Scott #29; $2,000.00). (Image) |
