 1911-15 Monocolours Perf 14 1d rose-pink SG 92 block of 6 (3x2) from the base of the sheet with 'JBC' & 'CA' Monograms in the lower
margin below the lower-left & lower-right units, plus 1d pale scarlet SG 92a block of 6 (3x2) from the base of the sheet with No Monograms, both blocks are quite well-centred, the No Monograms block with a tiny adhesion (arrow remains) on the face of
the lower margin, a small hinge remainder across two units & minor gum disturbance, the other with a small hinge remainder in the lower margin, the stamps unmounted, Cat £460+ for mounted singles without monograms. Croaker states (page 36) that "One
printing showed the control monograms omitted, and its colour was pale scarlet ... It would seem that the printing without controls was much smaller than the other printing". [Note that the Gibbons listing prices the rose-pink SG 92 at almost twice
the pale scarlet SG 92a, contradicting Croaker] (2 blocks) (Image1) (Image2)

 1916-31 Bicolours 1d grey-black & red SG 94bw complete sheet of 40 (5x8) with TS Harrison Imprint at base and also with the
so-called Substituted Cliché with Retouched (Doubled) Lower Frame above Maltese Cross & Damaged Maltese Cross [Pos 28] and Vertical Line to Right of Left Value Tablet [both Pos 32 & 37] (which Croaker speculates may be the result of a Cracked Electro
across both units), the top margin & two units with small aging marks on the gum otherwise very fine unmounted, Cat £260+ for mounted singles plus a substantial premium for the unlisted varieties. Rosenblum states (page 37) that the frame of [28] was
damaged & inexpertly replaced: "It is doubtful whether there exists elsewhere in the whole realm of philately a stamp of greater technical interest". Croaker responds (page 46) "This clear case of bumping-up and retouching was theatrically described
by Rosenblum as a substituted cliche, a double strike, and a retouch all in one. It was clearly only the latter ...". Peter Troy's 'Substituted Cliché' single on cover (!) sold in 2009 for $460. (Image1) (Image2)

few small patches of irregular gum but unmounted, Cat £75+ for mounted singles. Croaker states (page 47) that "Harrison made only one printing of this value, and that a small one ... I believe that the bulk of the printing was overprinted for air
mail purposes and the unoverprinted stamps are rare". If that is the case, then this stamp is seriously under-catalogued. Imprints - at one per sheet of 40 - are substantially rarer again, and leave no doubt as to identification. (Image1) (Image2)
