 1856-58 Perkins Bacon Queen-on-Throne die proof of the Edward Henry Corbould design that was adapted for the 1d & 6d stamps in
black on thin wove paper (69x85) showing the outer dimensions of the die, hinged to slightly larger backing paper. Exquisite. Ex 'Besancon' (II), where illustrated with reduced margins: sold after the 2018 auction for SFr1210. For the stamps, the
oakleaves & laurel were deleted, 'VICTORIA' was moved from the base of the throne to a curved cartouche at the top. The ideal introductory item for a study of these stamps, that are important for being two of only three Victorian stamps, the other
being the De La Rue 2d, that were not wholly produced in Victoria. (Image1)

 1856 Perkins Bacon Queen-on-Throne 1d yellow-green SG 40, margins good to large, superb part-strike of the Perkins Bacon
'CANCELLED' handstamp, Cat £12,000. Superb. Ex JRW Purves, Rodney Perry and 'Besancon' (I): sold for €12,700. This is Position 3 from the original block of 6 (3x2): see 'CANCELLED by Perkins Bacon' by Peter Jaffé at page 72. See also 'Stamps of
Victoria' by Geoff Kellow at page 103 & at Plate 6 where the stamp is illustrated.
Six similarly defaced stamps from many Colonies were gifted by Perkins Bacon to Rowland Hill's nephew Ormond Hill, an egregious error of judgment that saw Perkins Bacon lose their stamp-printing contracts. Peter Jaffé illustrated Positions 3 (this
stamp), 4 (in the Royal Collection) and 5 (in the institutionalised Amy Vickery collection in Sydney). Jaffé was apparently aware of the existence of Pos 1. Pos 6 has not been recorded. Excepting Pos 1, of unknown whereabouts, this is the only
example known to be in private hands, making it one of the most elusive and desirable of all the 75 Ormond Hill stamps. (Image1) (Image2)

 1863-81 QV Laureates V/Crown Watermark Perf 12½ 4d dull rose red as SG 150 but an unlisted shade, two overlapping strikes of
Castlemaine duplex of SE15/78, unpriced by Gibbons in the listed shade unused or used. Geoff Kellow records Perf 12½ only on the last two printings of the 4d (Sept 1880 & April-May 1881, both in "rosine"), stating at page 165 that the earlier 'dull
rose-red' printings are found only Perf 13 or Perf 12. This stamp is from an earlier printing and clearly dated prior to the recorded introduction of two single-line Perf 12½ machines in 1879 and the conversion of two Perf 13 comb machines to Perf
12x12½ in 1880. (Gibbons list all these together as "Perf 12½"). RPSV Certificate (2024). (Image1) (Image2)

and inverted and reversed watermarks [are] found ... the likely explanation is that the stack of paper was dropped or fell, and in being re-packed many sheets were turned". However, Kellow does not mention Watermark Sideways, this possibly being the
only known example. RPSV Certificate (2024). (Image1) (Image2)
