Lot Description

1305

1929-30 'AIR MAIL' Overprints Ash Printing 3d black & blue-green as SG 114 with unlisted Overprint Double. RPSofV Certificate (2010) states "the lower overprint is a forgery". Sold at our auction of 25.3.2011 for $303, to a bidder who believed, and still does, that the stamp is genuine. In his book on the Airmail Overprint Varieties, Ray Kelly illustrated this stamp - and two others showing the same characteristics - and stated at page 44 "...[they] are far more likely to be genuine than fakes". The book was published in May 2011, and remains the key reference. It is telling that Ray also plated the three stamps as [Pos 1 2 & 3], with this stamp being [Pos 2] on the sheet, and showed them as a rejoined strip.

1930 Aeroplane Overprints Harrison Printing 1/- sepia & deep olive as SG 117 but with the Overprint in Deep Carmine and the telltale 'AI,R MAIL' Variety being the first unit in a block of 4, minor characteristic gum tropicalisation, very lightly mounted & the lower units are unmounted. Ex Rev Roger Lee. Both the overprint colour and variety are unlisted in Gibbons. Alec Rosenblum states at page 43 "At first, a deep carmine was selected, but after only about 10 sheets of the 1/- had been printed therewith, the colour was found to be too dark, and for all subsequent printings the colour was a lighter carmine-red". They were issued: both used examples and covers are known.

Both the overprint colour and variety are unlisted in Gibbons. If indeed only 10 sheets were printed before the overprint colour was lightened and the variety corrected, only ten imprints & varieties can exist. Our vendor has requested the very modest estimate.
