 1906 'BRUNEI' Overprints on Labuan Crown Colony 1c black & purple with the Overprint in Black SG 11a marginal single from the
right-hand side of the sheet, fresh colours, large-part original gum with a small hinge remainder, Cat £2500. Ex Dr William Wells. BPA Certificate (1996). Bill Toye's unmounted example sold in 2018 for £2160.
Gibbons states the overprint in black is an "error". Others consider it to be a colour trial rejected as the overprint did not stand out sufficiently from the background, which was then issued in error. It is believed that only one sheet was issued;
the variety was noticed by the postal clerk after he had sold nearly half of the sheet for postal use, the remainder subsequently purchased by the Resident. (Image1) (Image2)

 1895 Perkins Bacon Issue 2c complete imperforate plate proof sheet of 60 (10x6) in brown-red on gummed unwatermarked paper, seven
units including at the four corners with manuscript surcharges "3 3/3 pence 3" - the lower-left unit apparently endorsed "2" at the lower corners & corrected to "3" - a few other small printers' marks, some very minor blemishes on the reverse
including a small water-stain in the lower margin, otherwise very fine with most units having full unmounted gum. Ex Dr William Wells. Possibly the only surviving sheet, and a marvellous item for collectors of Sarawak, Rhodesia, the Perkins Bacon
Story, or proofs in general.
This and similar trials with machine overprints - see the nest lot - were prepared in 1895 by Perkins Bacon in relation to their production of the 1896-97 Large Arms issue for the British South Africa Company (Rhodesia)! See 'Rhodesian Philately to
1924' by Trotter Hoffman & Flanagan at pp241-3, where several similar trials with machine overprints are shown, with the comment "there are three complete sheets known". Interestingly, no mention is made of manuscript trials. One of 'their' items is
endorsed "pattern" in the margin & we are confident that the "p" of "pence" here is in the same hand. (Image1) (Image2)
