 1961-62 Pictorials 1d Woman, 3d Elder, 1/- Female Dancer & 2/- Male Dancer set of die proofs in the issued colours as SG 28-31
recessed in a composite presentation card (157x113mm) with cream flap, 'R.B.A./NOTE PRINTING/BRANCH' handstamps in violet initialled & dated "1-11-61" (1d & 3d) or "2-11-61" (1/- & 2/-) behind each proof on the reverse, some aging marks on the card &
flap and all except the 1d proof with some blemishes caused by the adhesive tape used to hold them in place. The stamps were issued on 26.7.1961. Rare: there are no archival records of the numbers of such proofs distributed, but it is unlikely to
have been more than a dozen. A similar proof in slightly better condition sold at our auction of 22.5.2024 for $1140 (Sale 256 Lot 2421).
