(redistributed) o.g., Cat £4000. A rare stamp. [Michael Blake's example sold for $3495. The John Boker/Ron Butler (described there as having "small-part o.g.") & 'Besancon' (II) example sold for SFr4355]

 TEN PENCE: 'TEN PENCE' in Black on 9d yellow with the Surcharge Inverted at the Top SG 37a with Overprint Sub-Type 3 ('T' of 'TEN'
almost horizontal & 'N' of 'TEN' close to vertical), full rouletting and one of the few well centred examples, a little aged, 'G.P.O/NO10/69/ADELAIDE' cds largely clear of the surcharge, Cat £7500. An attractive example of this famous error of which
'Shilling Violet' No 16 (Sep 1989) recorded a mere 15 known (not including Peter Jaffé's unique pair). Ex Colonel Harry Napier (but not the stamp offered in his auction of 11.5.1976). RPSofL Certificate (1965) unkindly states "stained". More
attractive than Michael Blake's off-centre example - the surcharge misplaced & partly off the stamp - that sold for $10,485.

mourning cover to "Royal Yacht Club/.../London", London arrival cds of NO29/69 in red on the face, part of the flap missing. Very attractive. A very scarce franking: Michael Blake's solo franking to Scotland sold for $465. [The addressee was either
the Royal London Yacht Club, or the Royal Thames Yacht Club] (Image1) (Image2)

 ONE SHILLING: 1/- olive-yellow (shades) with GPO cds of OC25/62 or OC27/1862 or numerals '2' of Hindmarsh or '30' of Tanunda (minor
thin). These shades are the result of salt-water immersion aboard the 'Colombo', which foundered off Minicoy Island in the Laccadives on 19.11.1862. Three of these are illustrated by Brian Peace at page 101. Harry Lower's two examples sold together
for $175.

 ONE SHILLING: 1/- yellow SG 36, horizontal rouletting misplaced above the value table & cut from the sheet to preserve the design
resulting in an enormous example with 'ONE SHILLING' at Top & Base, minor faults, tied by GPO cds of SP26/1862 to cover with 'VIA MARSEILLES' embossing at upper-left & 9d grey-lilac SG 34 added for the late fee & tied with circle-in-bars cancel in
blue, superb 'BIRMINGHAM/NO14/62' arrival b/s, the flimsy envelope with a few faults still quite presentable. Only four covers with the 1/- yellow have been recorded.

 ONE SHILLING: 1/- brown SG 39-42 group, full rouletting, unused. [As stated in the introductory notes, the Gibbons shade descriptors
for the 1/- brown group are sometimes unhelpful: the predominant shade is red-brown. This stamp is perhaps the closest to a 'grey'-brown - SG 39, Cat £450 - but we invite personal assessment of the shades in this group]

discoloured from the 'blackboy' gum used for this printing, very worn strikes of the circle-in-bars cancel of the GPO, Cat £2750. Ex AE Fryar and Henry Frenkle, and believed to be the only recorded example of the imperf between error. Certainly, Gary
Diffen's exceptional collection of Errors did not include an example. However, his unique pair of the 1/- yellow imperf horizontally SG 38a - slightly trimmed at the base, Cat £9500 - sold for £5400.
