 1905-12 QV Crown/A Watermark De La Rue 1d imperforate plate proof block of 4 in aniline rosine on ungummed unwatermarked Vertically
Laid Paper, margins good to large, with manuscript "16" at the base and magnificent central strike of the rare 'GLENBURNIE' squared-circle with the date slugs removed. Glenburnie (2) opened 13.8.1900; closed 31.3.1904. The squared circle is recorded
AP15/03 to JY7/03 only & is rated RRRR. This is a very rare posthumous usage and is the strike illustrated by the PSSA. Ex John Bell (Adelaide): sold at our auction of 14.11.2014 for $522 (Sale 198 Lot 2031). This and the previous lot were written up
by John Bell as "cancellation trials". They remain the only examples known to us. The ACSC (2023) does not record any proofs for this issue.
