96 imageGreat Britain 1840 1d "House of Lords" envelope, SGPE6Great Britain 1840 1d "Houses of Lords" Envelope, SGPE6. Very fine used example of this rare envelope printed in vermillion, sent to Clifton and neatly cancelled by a London "PAID" Crowned circle for MY.1.1840. The upper backflap has been re-enforced and reduced, nevertheless a very presentable example of this rare Parliamentary envelope. A very attractive late usage of the rare pre-stamps Parliamentary envelopes. When the Uniform Penny Postage was introduced on 10 January 1840, the free franking privileges of Members of Parliament were abolished. During the same month, these special envelopes were created for mail posted from the Houses of Parliament and remained in use until the introduction of stamps and the Mulready stationery on 6th May, 1840. GB Specialised Catalogue Number: PE6. The Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Queen Victoria Specialised Catalogue, last published in 2011, lists a value of £25,000. (Image)

Scarce and a stunning Specimen example of this very popular Queen Victorian stamp, hardly ever seen unmounted mint. The design of this surface printed stamp symbolises the pride behind the golden era of the Victorian postal revolution. It is not just the design but the lush rose colour which makes this stamp always stand out in a crowd. "SPECIMEN" examples were used solely by postal administrations for reference purposes to help spot any attempted forgeries. (Image)

111 imageGreat Britain 1973 3p ultramarine, SGX855bGreat Britain 1973 3p ultramarine (2 bands), SGX855b. Very fine unmounted mint, with full original gum, top left hand corner marginal imperforate pair. A very scarce imperforate Machin pair, particularly in positional form and in such pristine condition. GB Specialised Catalogue No: U104a. The Machin series of postage stamps is the main definitive stamp series of Great Britain, since 5 June 1967. The design by Arnold Machin consists simply of the sculpted profile of the Queen and a denomination, and are almost always in a single colour. It is interesting that Great Britain ultimately chose a design based on a very similar concept to the first postage stamp, the penny black. The effigy on the British Machin stamps has never been updated in 55 years of service. The last time proposals to change the design were submitted, they were rejected by the Queen herself. The Machin stamps have lived through numerous changes and innovations in British stamp printing, yet have remained much the same today as they were when they were first issued. They have become a very popular area of study to specialised philatelic collectors with an abundance of literature to support the market. (Image)
