 1855 London Printings 2d rose-carmine SG 2, margins close to good, two superb part-strikes of the Perkins Bacon 'CANCELLED'
handstamp, Cat £15,000. This is Position 3 from the original block of 6: see 'CANCELLED by Perkins Bacon' by Peter Jaffé at page 64, where Position 3 is not recorded. Ex Dr Donald Pearce - the front cover item: sold at our auction of 9.11.2022 for
$11,380.
Six similarly defaced stamps from many Colonies were gifted by Perkins Bacon to Rowland Hill's nephew Ormonde Hill. This egregious error of judgment saw Perkins Bacon lose their stamp-printing contracts. According to our records, with the exception
of the Trinidad 6d & 1/-, this appears to be the only other Ormonde Hill 'CANCELLED' stamp, of the 75 known, for which all six positions are now recorded. Peter Jaffé's two examples - Positions 2 & 5 - sold for $14,950 & $19,805 respectively. The
'Besancon' (I) example - Position 1 - sold for €8400.

 1856-58 Adelaide Printings 1d yellow-green SG 6, margins close to good, minor blemishes, Cat £800. RPSofV Certificate (2007) as the
then SG 5. Larger than Don Pearce's dated example that sold for $366. [We are pleased to see that Gibbons have now combined SG 5 & SG 6 - "green" & "yellow-green" - into a single entry, there being little difference in shade. Note also, that most
examples in the market are, or are likely to be, SG 13 or 14 (now also amalgamated, as SG 13) with the roulettes trimmed-off. This situation means that genuine examples of the Imperf Adelaide Penny are much scarcer than the catalogue value would
suggest]

 1858-59 First Rouletted 1d yellow-green SG 13 with rouletting on all sides, unused, Cat £1100. A very attractive example of this
scarce stamp, that was absent from Don Pearce's collection. Ex Wolfgang Kielmann. RPSofV Certificate (2006). Note that, as with SG (5) & 6, Gibbons have now amalgamated SG 13 & 14 because the shades are very difficult to distinguish.
