('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. Ex Dr Don Pearce. 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.

 1868-79 Large Star Perf 11½-12½ 9d bright mauve Printed on Both Sides SG 76a, the original impression on the 'reverse' is quite faint
& upright relative to the 'face', GPO cds of SP1-/7[3], Cat £900. Ex Dr Don Pearce. Usage at the GPO between September & November 1873, and at Port Adelaide between October & November 1873, coupled with the difference in the quality of the original
printings, indicates that at least two sheets were affected. The faint 'Adelaide' impressions are significantly scarcer than the more obvious 'Port Adelaide' inpressions. Peter Jaffé's similar GPO example sold for $860.

 1868-79 Large Star Compound Perforations 1d deep green SG 101 block of 36 (9x4) mostly regular compound perf 11½-12½x10 but the 6th
and 9th vertical lines of perfs are Perf 11½ which has created 16 irregular compound perf units, the horizontal perforating quite misaligned at places, small repair at upper-left, some trimmed perfs at the base and a few minor blemishes but generally
very fine with large-part original gum & about ten units unmounted, Cat £8100+, for unused singles. The largest recorded multiple and a spectacular exhibition piece. Ex Colonel Harry Napier (where it was mistakenly stated that the left-hand vertical
perfs were also 11½) and Ex Dr Don Pearce. Harry Lower's mint block of 4 - graded 'A/A-' - sold to Michael Blake for $2330, and then for $3145. Harry Lower's mint block of 30 (10x3) of the Rouletted 1d SG 21 - graded 'A/C'; Cat £5400+ - sold for
$16,890. [See the annotated illustration on our website: it is likely that the two irregular rows of Perf 11½-12½ were applied to correct otherwise 'imperforate-between' pairs]

 1876-1900 Broad Star Perf 11½-12½ 9d rose-lilac Printed on Both Sides SG 123a, the original impression on the 'reverse' oriented
sideways relative to the 'face', 'PARCEL POST ADELAIDE/OC30/90/SA' cds, undercatalogued at £600. A rare & most unusual error, of which Gary Diffen recorded only three examples. Ex Julian Beresford and Dr Don Pearce.
Until recently, Gibbons did not recognise this error as being distinct from the similar variety with the original impression upright. The catalogue now includes a footnote stating "No 123a is known with the impression on the back either sideways or
inverted". We suggest that the two varieties are fundamentally different and should be listed separately. We also note that all the other examples recorded by us have the usual upright/inverted orientation.
