image 1870 ½d rose Queen Victoria, specialized collection containing 20 covers plus 97 stamps, with each plate number represented, including a clear plate 9 (cat $850). The collection is almost all annotated by owner as per plate number and postmark, and we note many pairs, a block of 6, block of 7, and more. A few faults as expected, still a useful collection of these challenging little stamps. Online scans only show part of the collection, please inspect to better appreciate. (Image)

image 1918 4a on 1¾p Surcharge with Inverted Fountains of Suleiman Centre, used, with unobtrusive "Marshalls Bridge" cancel showing part of the year date "20". A lovely and fresh example, well centered, with the postmark leaving most of the inverted centre easily visible, very fine. This major error stamp is very rare, as there have only been 4 examples known (all of which are used) until this exciting new discovery. The last example we are aware of having been sold was a thinned stamp which was part of the famous "Robert H. Cunliffe Collection of Spectacular Inverted Stamps of the World" sale in 2009. Accompanied by a 2018 Sergio Sismondo certificate listing all of the five known examples, as well as the history behind the issue. Stanley Gibbons catalogue No. 7a, £32,000. With only five known examples, this is certainly one of the rarest inverted centre issues of the world, and worthy of the finest collection. Rsv. (Image)
