Lot Description

401

FWT19-25

1915 King George V Wine Strip Complete Set of 5 denominations for first issue, and two for second issue, showing the King's head sideways. The 5c value of the first set is unused (no gum) the rest have purple cancels, and the two in the second set are mint never hinged. Van Dam states that used examples are often faulty, these are very fine (a few tiny tears do not detract). A scarce set, under-valued in our opinion as this is the first set we recall handling. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)
