133ii

1924 2c Yellow Green Admiral Coil, Perf 12 Horizontally, vertical pair showing the "Transfer roll flaw in N of CENTS" on both stamps, and with bottom stamp also showing an extended frameline at bottom right corner (potentially a retouch), nicely centered, mint never hinged, fresh and very fine. This type of variety or flaw, similar to the "diagonal line in" varieties on the 7c red brown, has now been called "Vertical Band Flaws" by the BNAPS Admirals study group, and is still being actively researched by specialists in term of cause, plates and specific positions on plates. A lovely item for the Admiral specialist, as the presence of the flaw and the extended frameline could allow someone to finally confirm the specific plate from which the 2c green endwise coil was printed from.

104-140

Impressive and Extensive Collection of Used Admiral Issues, all neatly displayed on 43 album pages, with descriptions and catalogue numbers, left intact by us except for the major re-entry 1c blue green which was lotted separately. The collection covers all issues, including the regular 1c to $1 issues, plus coils, part imperforates, imperforates and surcharges (no War Tax). We note a great many better items, too many to list in detail here, but does include just about every Unitrade-listed shade, many unlisted shades, papers, printings, retouches, re-entries, booklet panes and singles, coils are present in pairs, including paste-up pairs and three Toronto experimental coil pairs, and more, with many quite valuable items. Also note an introductory King George V picture postcard and a 1925 Montreal Philatelic Exhibition card franked with a 1c orange. What really stands out in this collection, aside from its vast array of different stamps, is the quality, as the collector made an effort to obtain as many c.d.s. postmarked examples, with many socked on the nose and dated, including the coil pairs and booklet panes. A once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain such a substantial, researched and well presented used collection. See photos on our website. (All Scans)
