Grenada. The Rowland Hill "Cancelled" Obliterator. 1861 6d. rose, handstamped with a superb strike of the "cancelled" obliterator at lower left, position 3 in the Peter Jaffe reconstruction (although not recorded or illustrated in his book), very rare, with only three examples recorded, one of which is housed in the Royal Philatelic Collection. S.G. 3, £10,000 Note: In August 1861 the printers, Perkins, Bacon & Co., provided siexamples of each stamp in their possession to Ormond Hill (eldest son of Rowland Hill) for members of his family. These fascinating stamps and the story behind their appearance, have been fully described by Peter Jaffé in his book "cancelled" by Perkins Bacon.(Image1)
