1889/91: Handstamped Surcharges, 1 a. on 3 a. on 1887 3 a. green & blue, the September 1890 printing, a wonderful unused example of fine centering and fresh colour, with slightese kiss print on the Siamese numeral, part paper hinge remnant on large part og. A magnificent stamp with a probable printing of just one sheet initially, very few genuine examples recorded (Vincent Polizatto recorded 37 mint and 19 used examples although not all can be guaranteed), this example being comparable in quality to his unused example (Interasia, Hong Kong, Nov 2006, lot 827) and without doubt one of the great rarities of Siamese Classic philately. Cert. Philatelic Association of Thailand (2023) Gi = £ 25'000.rnrnNote: This stamp is from a new find from a general collection in Scandinavia and thus has never previously been offered on the philatelic market. A great rarity, with a block of four and defective single in the Charles Stewart collection, no examples shown in the either the Prakaipet Indusophon or Surajit Gongvatana collections.rnNote: In the "Descriptive Catalogue of the Postage Stamps of Siam" by the Siam Philatelic Societxy (1920), this stamp is listed as No. 26 with the comment "is of considerable rarity".
