 1886-96 New Designs V/Crown Watermark '33' 1/6d approved Allegorical design die proof in orange (the second issued colour) on
thick ungummed unwatermarked paper, Line Perf 12½. The only recorded example. Ex Ronald Harrison and Max Watson. A number of such proofs were acquired in the 1980s by Max Watson directly from the family of Ronald Harrison. At the time, they were
thought to be plate proofs. However, the fact that in almost every case only one example has been recorded, has resulted in the conclusion that they are all die proofs that were line-perforated by hand. They were not known to Geoff Kellow, at the
time his book was published in 1990. (Image1) (Image2)
