1940 Ball Bay Prepared for Use but Unissued Perf 11 6d chocolate & 1/- grey-green, well centred, lightly mounted. Rare: the 1d 2d & 3d were also prepared. [Stephen Bradford's & Denbeigh Garrard's unmounted sets sold at our auctions of 9.11.2002 and 6.8.2011 for $7840 & $8155 respectively] The die was engraved by Frank Manley in 1938. The five values were approved in 1939 and printed in 1940 but the issue was delayed because some genius realised that the separate Norfolk Island postal administration had not been properly established. There were further delays & the issue was eventually cancelled, presumably because of the continuation of World War II.

POSTAL HISTORY: 1930 (circa) largely very fine strike of 'IVY HOUSE/NORFOLK ISLAND' double-oval undated cachet tying KGV 1½d red Die II x2 to a small piece. Ivy House was one of the largest boarding houses on the island. The use of the cachet on stamps raises the intriguing possibility that a temporary Post Office operated there during the Garden Party Fete held there to promote the 1930 Horticultural Show.
