rose Queen Victoria, Perforated 11.8, a full sheet of 60, with selvedge all around (top left has a natural foldover which was perforated through) and full, hand applied gum, never hinged. A lovely and fresh sheet, described by owner as being from
an early printing, evidenced by an absence of the "TWC" constant variety on position 54. There are two small toning spots (one on edge of sheet and one on back of one stamp) which do not detract. Rare and overall fine centered. (Scan a) |

rose Queen Victoria, Perforated 11.8, a full sheet of 60, with intact selvedge all around and full, hand applied gum, never hinged. A lovely and fresh sheet, described by owner as being from a late printing, evidenced by the "TWC" constant
variety on position 54 (he named it the "crust flaw"). There is a small toning spot at the top edge of the top selvedge which does not detract. Rare and overall fine centered.

rose Queen Victoria Imperforate, a left sheet margin block of 24, unused (no gum) with a cut in the upper right margin (away from stamp) plus a faint vertical crease at bottom affecting 4 stamps and another corner crease affecting one stamp,
still a very fine and desirable multiple. Accompanied by a letter from Mr. Crosby to Mr. Sissons ("Dear J.N.") in 1961 explaining to him that this is a #5 and not a #1 and that he would like to pay $150 for it, and gives evidence of the paper types
described in Jarrett, etc. (Scan a) |

claret Queen Victoria Imperforate horizontal pair, from top of sheet, with hinged original gum. Accompanied by a 2017 Greene Foundation certificate stating "very crackled disturbed gum". Our research revealed that this particular shade of
imperforate stamp is sometimes described as coming from the "Perf. 9" printing. (Scan a)

 1862 2d
rose Queen Victoria, Perforated 11.7, Imperforate Horizontally, a full sheet of 60, with selvedge all around, having all of its horizontal perforations missing, except for those under the bottom row. The owner describes it as an early printing,
as there is no variety to the TWO in position 54. There are, however other varieties, such as for example the constant variety in position 30 "the T flaw", still unlisted in Unitrade. A similar sheet resided in the Dr. Carr collection (sold in 1999)
and we know of none other. Full original hand applied gum, stamps are never hinged, hinging in margin at top, with a couple of light toning spots (these seen on back and do not detract) as well as light creases, still one of the key lots in this
collection and rare. Catalogued as 27 fine and 3 very fine pairs. (Scan a) |

rose Queen Victoria, with Perforation Variety, being perforated 11¾ vertically x 9 horizontally. Unused (no gum), with a pulled perf, on coarse white vertically meshed paper, and accompanied by a (pink) 2017 Greene Foundation certificate stating
"fake perf 9 perforation added top and bottom". Also accompanied by a 1950 Royal Philatelic Society, London certificate (issued to Mr. Crosby) stating "The Committee does not believe that this is an issued variety. It does not belong to the first
series". An interesting curiosity. (Scan a)

blue Queen Victoria, Perforated 11.7, a partial sheet of 24, with selvedge on three sides. Full original hand-applied gum, with hinge re-enforcing between four stamps, leaving 20 never hinged. The second to sixth vertical perf rows are quite
misaligned and slanting to the right. Used in the exhibit to demonstrate how poorly aligned perforations could be obtained, resulting in most stamps being perforated right into. From a late printing, with "break in R" constant variety in position 16.

blue Queen Victoria, Perforated 11.7 and Part Imperforate, a complete sheet of 30, with original hand applied gum, with the right hand column of pairs being imperforate between, caused by missing vertical row of perforations (this variety is
unlisted in Unitrade). The leftmost vertical row of perforations ends at bottom in a hook, as there was a fold-over when perforated. Overall fresh, with all stamps never hinged (hinged in selvedge only), a tiny spot of toning on one of the
imperf-between pairs, else overall fine. From a late printing, and includes an unlisted constant variety "break in R" in position 16. (Scan a) |

Bisected 3d blue Queen Victoria on Cover, mailed from Charlottetown on FEB.28.1870 and addressed to Pinette PEI. Franked with a 3d plus another diagonally bisected 3d (both properly tied to each other and to cover) paying the 4½d rate. The 4½d
brown stamp was not issued until a little later on June 1st 1870, so this would have been a workaround franking. Faults, including a diagonal crease, still scarce. Accompanied by a 2017 Greene Foundation certificate. Property of another vendor. (Scan a)
