 THE EARLIEST KNOWN GREAT BRITAIN USE FROM SOUTH AMERICA
1847-54, G.B. embossed 6d lilac, clear to enormous margins originating from the left of the sheet, paying the uniform British Packet rate of sixpence, used on cover from Berbice "per Steamer" to Scotland, cancelled by pen-strokes, with despatch 24
March 1856 cds of Berbice (small sans-serif) on reverse.
An unlisted (by Stanley Gibbons) use of the Embossed issue from the Colony, and only known use from British Guiana. A major rarity of Great Britain used abroad as the earliest known use of a Great Britain stamp from South America.
Note: As the British Guiana stamps then current were only valid in the colony, prepaid mail to Great Britain and other countries required the use of British stamps. These were sold and used from Berbice (New Amsterdam) and Demerara (Georgetown), and
available from 11 May 1858, when the stamps of British Guiana were valid only for local postage (until 1 May 1860).

 THE UNIQUE UNUSED "COTTON REEL" 8 CENTS
THE RAREST UNUSED STAMP OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
1850-51, 8 cents black on blue-green, Townsend Type C, faint initials "JBS", thin frame, uncancelled, cut round showing most of the frame, stained from sealing wax and mild vertical crease of absolutely no significance for a rarity of this worldwide
calibre; (unpriced in SG).
Only four "Cotton Reels" in unused condition are recorded, of which three represent the 12 cents denomination, this example being clearly the most important as it is the only recorded for the 8 cents denomination.
THE RAREST UNUSED STAMP OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND ONE OF THE GREAT GEMS OF WORLDWIDE PHILATELY. Its importance may be compared to the unused "Missionary" 2 cents of Hawaii (sold in 2018 by Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries for $525'000 plus buyer's
premium).

 1850-51, 12 cents black on pale blue, Townsend Type B, with initials of postal clerk Wight "EDW", cut octagonally with almost clear to large margins all round, with ideal strike of 29 July 1851 Demerara datestamp, "two shallow
thins" mentioned in the certificate, but we are of the opinion that these could be due to translucency caused by the gum from a previous hinge, as no paper abrasion is to be seen (actually in the Caspary sale this stamp was described as "very fine");
(SG £13'000).
One of the finest of just seven cut-octagonally single examples in private hands.

 THE FINEST SINGLE EXAMPLE WITH ORIGINAL GUM
1852 Waterlow 1 cent black on magenta, clear to very large margins with part sheet margin at left, unused with almost complete original gum, resplendent colour, pressed vertical crease at right mentioned in the BPA certificate, which in our opinion
could be caused during the printing process as the gum is not affected by the crease (in the Ferrary and Hind sales this stamp was described as superb), exceptionally fresh and without any of the usual rubbing; (SG £15'000).
Exceedingly rare in this wonderful state of preservation, with only two examples without faults or major faults recorded (both offered in this sale), and the finest single known with original gum.
