1013 Proof   imageThe Old Original (Accepted Die) Perkins Bacons Archive Example, The First Die for the Penny Stamp (later rejected) was engraved by the Royal Master Engraver Charles Heath on instructions from Perkins Bacon and Petch in January 1840. The Die was abandoned as the background was considered to be too light the Queens head was also too lightly engraved and it was found that the die did not transfer sufficiently well. Charles Heath stared the Second Die (Accepted Die) in Mid-January this was accepted by Queen Victoria on 2nd of March. As was customary Perkins Bacon and Co produce one example for their records which was duly hand stamped on the reverse. In 1935 Perkins Bacon and Co went out of business and its records (including this proof) were acquired by Charles and Harry Nissen and Thomas Allen. The records were subsequently transferred to the Royal Philatelic Society London where Percy de Worms organised them for publication. Thought to be only one other proof from the Perkins Bacon and Co Archive in Private Hands (The rejected Die). The Proof is on India Paper mounted on card.
