404

1½d black-brown on Thin Paper as ACSC 83aa but with No Watermark, 'BARNAW[ATHA]/[VIC]' cds. The only recorded example and one of the great rarities of the entire Georgian Series. Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Society of Great Britain Certificate (1966) and RPSV Certificate (2018) which states "Electro 2 right pane stamp 27", which is the third stamp in row five of the right-hand pane. Considering that this stamp has been known of for decades & its re-emergence in 2018 was well-publicised, it is surprising that it is not listed in the current edition of the ACSC. It is recorded by Gibbons in a lengthy footnote below SG 66: "...it is not the result of misplaced printing, but would have been caused by a missing watermark bit [a form of error not recorded in Australian philately] or may have been printed on a sheet of unwatermarked paper". This raises the question of whether it should be treated as a major error or as a separate issue?

1½d brown Electro 9A unlisted TS Harrison Imprint block of 12 (6x2), the central unit at upper-left with Sharp Notch at Right of Upper Frame and Shading Line Missing to Left of Kangaroo's Left Ear [Pos 9AL53], centring variable, two small pencil notations in the lower margin, six units with small hinge remainders and/or perf reinforcing, a couple of units with minor gum 'bubbling' and a small aging mark in the central gutter. The ACSC states that "The imprint on Electro 9A has not been seen in Single Watermark" (Cat $2500 for a Large Multiple Watermark imprint block of 12). A very important positional piece: most of Electro 9A is yet to be plated, and since the identifying variety is not present on an imprint block of 4, larger multiples are needed to positively identify the imprint.
