1911 NEW WATERMARK DISCOVERY: KEVII Somerset House Printing 2s.6d. Excellent Dull Reddish Purple colour well-centred fractionally E. v.f. mint slight hinge full original gum - lovely example. Reverse: review of the Anchor watermark discovery … it is significantly mis-positioned to West but there is additional presently unidentified 'manuscript' style watermark to East. The obvious conclusion this example comes from the first row to the left-hand side (as viewed from the front). Still viewing from the front, the sheet was printed mispositioned with Anchor watermarks significantly to the right - so far over that the watermark plate inscription intended to be present in the left-hand marginal sheet selvedge NEVER INTENDED TO BE SEEN ON THE STAMP was pulled over into/onto this stamp. In 50 years, we have never seen this before on a KEVII high value stamp … however we are reminded of the manuscript watermarks upon the Queen Victoria 'bantam' ½d's of 1870. Originally the EDVII 'square' high values were printed in sheets of 56 so a few more left-hand marginal examples must have originally existed. Discovered after 111 years almost certainly unique today - a new UPA discovery 111 years following printing. Clearly visible to the naked eye upon the reverse, even more graphic when immersed in Prinz super-safe watermark fluid or the American produced 'Clarity' watermark fluid (neither affect the gum of mint stamps). Comparables: Compare the Somerset House Dull greyish purple 2/6d. … scarce u.m. but available at a £1,000+ retail value. Now compare with an INVERTED WATERMARK Somerset House 2s.6d…. We cannot - None exist. Now compare against a similar but DLR printing 2s.6d INVERTED WATERMARK … mint - a £5,000= stamp. We have not checked but this example may now be the only known Somerset House 2s.6d. watermark variety in existence. Sensational new discovery. Buy to own this unique example and research.
