254 imageNEW ZEALAND 1907-08 3d brown "Huia", SG378New Zealand 1907-08 3d brown 'Huia', reduced format, perforations 14x13, 13½ (comb), block of 4, SG378. A brilliant mint block with original gum, (lower pair unmounted mint). Some slightly short perforations at right, which do not detract from what is a lovely block. By 1906 the 1/2d, 3d, 6d & 1s pictorial stamp printing plates needed to be replaced. The opportunity was taken to reduce in size the 3d, 6d and 1s stamps so that they would be the same size as the 1d value. Huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) became extinct in 1907 as a result of hunting, clearing of their forest habitat and over-zealous specimen collecting for overseas museums. The bird was noted for its green black plumage, its rounded orange wattles and white-tipped tail. The female had a long, slender curving bill which made it easily distinguishable from the male, which had a much shorter but more powerful beak. Almost always seen in pairs, they normally bounded along the ground or from branch to branch, flying only when necessary. Huia tail feathers were greatly prized by the Maori as symbols of rank and used as adornment by chiefs. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £220+. (Image)

256 imageNEW ZEALAND 1909-16 6d carmine, SG403aNew Zealand 1909-16 6d carmine, two-perforation block of 4, SG403a. A lovely fresh unmounted mint block with full original gum. Lightly folded perforations and a tiny surface mark on one stamp barely detract from what is a delightful piece of King Edward VII philately. A very scarce block, especially in unmounted mint condition. In 1907, the status of New Zealand changed when the country was proclaimed a Dominion as opposed to a Colony. As a result, in March 1908, the Postmaster-General announced that the 1d Penny Universal would be reissued with the words 'Dominion of New Zealand' in place of 'New Zealand' and that King Edward VII stamps would be issued in 1/2d, 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d, and 1s values. Stamps depicting Edward VII continued to be produced for over a decade after his death. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £500+. (Image)

A fresh mint block with original gum (four stamps unmounted mint). Typical trimmed perforations at top, as often seen do not detract. A scarce multiple in such wonderful condition. One of the finest portraits of King George VI used on a stamp. The stamp printers developed the stamp design from a photograph of the King by Dorothy Wilding Portraits Ltd.
