 1855 London Printings 2d rose-carmine SG 2 horizontal strip of 5, margins close - at left - to good, three very fine to superb strikes of Numeral '33' of Saddleworth, Cat £475+, for singles. An exceptional First

 1856-58 Adelaide Printings 1d yellow-green SG 5-6 group, an unusually large example with good even margins, part-numeral cancel largely clear of the Queen's face, Cat £600. Superb!: perhaps the finest example we
have handled.
Our experience suggests that SG 5 & 6 should be treated as a single entry, there being little difference in shade across the many examples we have handled. Note also, that most examples in the market are, or are likely to be, SG 13 or 14 with the
roulettes trimmed-off. This situation means that genuine examples of the Imperf Adelaide Penny - such as here - are much scarcer than the catalogue value would indicate.

blue, Cat £2500. A very rare error in the imperforate issues. Significantly superior to Dr Don Pearce's example - graded B - that sold for $685. Gary Diffen's examples with the original impression upright, as here, was unsold, and with the original
impression inverted sold for £1440.

 1856-58 Perkins Bacon Adelaide Printing 6d slate-blue SG 10, margins good to very large at top (marginal?), light bars cancel, Cat £200. Superb: almost the equal of Don Pearce's example that sold for $679 in our
sale of 9.11.2022 and superior to Harry Lower's large example - graded 'A' - that sold for $1630. This is a perennially underrated stamp, yet it is priced by Gibbons at only £20 more than the much more often-seen London Printing 6d deep blue SG 3.
Our experience suggests that the ratio between surviving examples of SG 3 & SG 10 is at least 10:1.
