 1940 Ball Bay Prepared for Use but Unissued Perf 11 3d ultramarine, marginal example from the right-hand side of the sheet, quite well
centred, unmounted. Rare: the 1d 2d 6d & 1/- were also prepared: see next Lot. The die was engraved by Frank Manley in 1938, and the five values were approved in 1939 and printed in 1940, but the issue was delayed and subsequently withdrawn due to
World War II. In 1947, the Perf 14 3d value was issued in chestnut brown, and re-issued in emerald-green in 1959. Stephen Bradford's & the Garrard Family's unmounted sets of 5 values sold for $7840 & $8155 respectively.

 1956 Pitcairn Islanders Landing Centenary die proofs of the 3d green & 2/- violet Norfolk Island Seal & Pitcairner with Longboat in
the issued colours, recessed into a single presentation card, two 'CBA/NOTE PRINTING/BRANCH' handstamps dated "21-5-56" and numbered "19" & "29" respectively on the reverse, unfortunately with mostly light but extensive aging marks to both the proofs
& the card which may be able to be restored. Despite the faults, an appealing & rare proof item.

 1966 Decimal Surcharges '1c' on 1d Hibiscus Insularis Flower marginal block of 4 from the lower-right corner of the sheet with
Pre-perforating Paper Fold resulting in the lower-right unit being Partly Imperforate at Base & at Right, unmounted & very fine except for the paper fold (which has been ironed-out). Neither the Stephen Bradford nor Garrard Family collections
contained anything similar from this issue. The Garrard Family collection included a Ball Bay 2/- marginal vertical pair part-imperforate at lower right, that sold for $863.

 1966 Decimal Surcharges '2c' on 2d Lagunaria Flower with '2c' Surcharge Omitted in pair with normal SG 61a being the right-hand units
in a complete horizontal strip of 10 with margins at each end, a couple of minor tonespots in the margins only, unmounted, weak perfs between some units but the variety and adjoining unit are not affected & very fine, Cat £3000+ for the pair. One of
the foremost errors of Norfolk Island.
[Collas & Breckon at p64 state "One sheet had the first overprint (silver panel) in the right position, but the '2c' overprint was omitted from the right-hand vertical row of six stamps." It is important to note that this is a genuine 'Overprint
Omitted' error and not just the result of the overprint being misaligned. Stephen Bradford's similar strip sold at our auction of 9.11.2002 for $2760; another similar strip sold at our auction of 7.2.2009 for $5405]

half of each of the overprints being printed on the adjoining units, unmounted & very fine. The silver square overprint obliterating the original value has been printed in the correct position. Stephen Bradford's similar marginal strip of 4 sold for
$952.

 1969 Captain Cook Bicentenary Transit of Venus original artwork prepared by Victor Whiteley for Harrison & Sons comprising 1) finished
design (140x88mm) almost exactly as issued with hand-painted map overlaid by portrait of James Cook, sextant & lettering on acetate, the backing board with order number and stamp & gutter dimensions added in blue pen; 2) mock-up (167x115mm) of the
map lines and spaces for the portrait and sun in black on acetate; 3) mock-up (165x125mm) of the oceans & continents in black on acetate; and 4) mock-up (142x214mm) of the sextant & lettering in black on white cards pasted onto acetate, minor tape
staining mostly at the edges. Plus a 1998 letter from De La Rue Security Print (successors to Harrison & Sons) archivist confirming the design by Victor Whiteley from sketches by JG Gowan. A marvellous group chronicling the evolution of the design
and of great interest to thematic collectors also. Our vendor paid £550 in 1998 (invoice enclosed).

 1975 Second Settlement die-cut self-adhesives 10c Ship 'Mermaid' & 35c Kingston self-adhesives progressive proofs in black & in close
to the issued colours, roughly cut by hand to the desired shape of Norfolk Island and affixed to black Walsall Security Printers presentation cards (113x127mm), a little light staining from the mounts on the reverse visible from the face. With the
issued stamps for comparison: on the proofs the denominations are larger in red on the 10c & in mauve on the 35c, for the issued stamps on the 10c the inscription 'HM Survey Cutter/MERMAID' was re-set, and on the 35c 'KINGSTON/1835' was moved to the
left. A very desirable group that were absent from Stephen Bradford's collection. Ex Garrard Family collection; sold for $1035.
