 Provisional Perforations 1863/71: 1 d. carmine, wmk. '1', an unused block of six (3 x2),
perf. 12 all round by J. Walch & Sons of Hobart under contract from the Post Office, a wonderful multiple of resonant colour and most attractive, large part or unmounted og. Scarce.rnNote: From 1 October 1857, the Tasmania Post Office only supplied
purchasers requiring five or more complete sheets of postage stamps. The public obtained their requiremens, at face value, from licensed vendors who obtained their stocks at a discount from the GPO. From 1863 onwards, a number of stamp vendors
applied their own roulettes or perforations to help with separation. The Hobart fiirm of Walch & Sons were particularly successful, leading to an official contract in July 1869 to perforate sheets for the Post Office. The Government did not purchase
a perforating machine until late 1871.rnProvenance: Prestige, Melbourne, 24 May 2008, lot 267. (Image
