 REVENUES: 1886-96 'POSTAGE & REVENUE' Perf 11½-12½ £5 grey with manuscript cancel "Elder Smith/.../25.10.90" just tying the stamp to a
slightly larger piece from a document. Rare. [Because these high value stamps were technically valid for postage, virtually all examples that came onto the market were cleaned and had fake cancels applied. That has resulted in the high values
fiscally used being unintended rarities]

watermark upright...with compound perforations [is] unconfirmed". Watermark Upright is listed for regular Perf 12½ and Perf 11 stamps, where it is stated to comprise "approximately 5% of the total printing" and receives a premium of over three-times

for singles. A very scarce postally-used multiple. [This pair shows both the haphazard plate-laying and the unusual plate format with partial impressions included in the lower margin; the left-hand unit is placed 2mm higher than the right-hand one,
resulting in its design being cut by perforations at the top with the part-impression appearing at base]
