 TWO PENCE: 2d imperf plate proof block of 4 in black on ungummed unwatermarked paper, margins just touching - at lower-left - to good,
ironed-out horizontal crease at the base of the upper units doesn't detract from the very fine facial appearance. Ex John Dibiase: sold for $2035. An important proof that was absent from the Dr Cecil Walkley & 'Besancon' collections. This block is at
least the equal of Lord Vestey's block of 4, the significance of which was not appreciated on that occasion.
Pope & Reynolds at pp19-22 of 'The Two Pence Perkins Bacon Plate' (1995) give a detailed analysis of the various plate proof sheets. This block, from the Alpha proof sheet, is almost identical to that illustrated at p19 (Ex Western Australian Museum)
where it is stated that it "has markings which cannot be found on the Beta proof sheet, the Imprimatur sheet, or on the stamps as issued". This therefore reveals a case of progressive plate proofs, a situation most unusual for recess-printed issues
from any country.

cancel of Pinjarrah largely clear of the variety. Ex John Dibiase: sold for $745. [Pope & Reynolds at pp23-25 discuss the cause of this flaw - a foreign object on the plate - and state that only 6 examples, all unused, had been recorded. Arthur
Tilby, editor of 'The Black Swan' has advised that there are now ten unused & eight used examples recorded]

would be classified as 'pale orange' SG 24]
