Glasgow" Vignette Error, o.g., small hinge remnants, well centered, bright vibrant colors and exceptional freshness, Extremely Fine; with 2015 R.P.S. certificate. Scott No. 151a $32,500 for n.h. SG No. 216a  £40,000 ($56,950). A WONDERFUL MINT EXAMPLE OF THIS POPULAR MAJOR 20TH CENTURY FALKLAND ISLANDS RARITY. When the error first came onto the market, it was first discovered by a North American collector in 1970. The owner had acquired the set in 1965 and noticed the Glasgow vignette on the two values yet believed at the time it to be normal. It was not until later, after reading an article in a British philatelic magazine, that he realized that the stamp was a major error. It is believed that only one sheet of 60 of this famous error had been produced. A note in the Stanley Gibbons catalog regarding this stamp states: "There have been seventeen reports of stamps showing this error, although it is believed that some of these may refer to the same example." .

Scott No. 1  $39,000. AN MAGNIFICENT UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1852 15C BLACK ON BLUE. A TRUE RARITY IN THIS OUSTANDING SOUND CONDITION. There are only a tiny number of unused examples known surviving today and unlike the example offered here they practically all have faults to some degree and have the margins into the frameline.In 1852, Reunion was supplied by France with their first adhesive stamps, the French Colonies general issues that were given to all the Colonies of France. There were no 15c or 30c values that were needed to fulfill the 30c and 45c postal rates. Because it would take a long time for any new stamps to reach Reunion, it was decided to print new stamps locally. These locally produced stamps were typographed and printed on very thin pelure paper that often had irregularities such as wood pulp inclusions and pinholes. These primitives were similar to some other isolated islands throughout the world, such as Hawaii, Mauritius and Fiji. The methods were not as sophisticated as more prosperous countries that had been producing stamps for several years. As a result, they are some of the most sought after stamps in the world. (Image1)
