JUBILEES

318.      1900 2 1/2d SG 201, envelope from Hartlepool to Yokohama , Japan .  Please view the scans to see the remarkable amount of redirection that took place with this letter as it followed Mr Gill, Second Engineer, to his various ports of call over almost a 12 month period!! One wonders if he ever did receive it – I hope so after so much effort by the various postal administrations.  Could make a fabulous display item when fully written up.  Very rare indeed.  Price: £275.00 IMAGE1  IMAGE2

211.      3d purple on orange paper, SG 204, collectable copy, lightly canc'd by indistinct cds which allows the orange paper to show through well, blue crayon marks.  £48.00  IMAGE

316.      1887 5d Die 1 SG 207:  used block of 4, London cds’s on each stamp, August 17 1888. Very scarce stamp in a block, catalogued £600 including premium for cds.  Price: £185.00  IMAGE  

256.    1887 5d Die 2 SG207a: Bottom left corner used marginal block of 17 from the bottom of the sheet with rows 17, 18, 19 and 20, from the third marginal setting.  Some wrinkling on a few stamps. Each stamp cancelled by a crisp upright Guernsey parcel post, type G56 cancellation. The largest used block of this stamp we have seen and the only used block from any corner position. Still attached to an original piece of the package.  An attractive item and very rare.  £385.00  IMAGE       

257.    1887 5 Die 2 SG 207a: cds used example INVERTED watermark, small closed tear at left under the cancellation.  The right hand value tablet has been substantially RETOUCHED and is clear of the cancellation – see image.  Likely to be a unique combination of varieties.  Catalogued at £650 with premium for cds.  Rare.  £140.00  IMAGE1  IMAGE2

258.    1890 10d ‘Jubilee’ SG210: a complete pane of 20 with full margins all round, showing interpane pillars and part of the interpane watermark  ‘POST’ of ‘POSTAGE’. Cancelled by only six Guernsey parcel post cancellations, type G56, and therefore contrary to regulations.  This is an A pane from the Mill Sheet and one of only four complete used panes that are known to exist.  Some creasing across row 3 but with fine colour and still attached to an original piece of the parcel or package. Very rare item.  £995.00  IMAGE  

1061.  1900 1s SG214, very fine/superb unmounted mint corner block of 4 from the top of the sheet.  £220.00  IMAGE

259.    1900 1/- green and carmine, SG214: an outstanding and attractive bottom left corner marginal used block of 20 cancelled contrary to regulations by only 7 strikes of the Guernsey parcel post, type G56, leaving at least 12 of the stamps with clear profile.  This matches the largest known used block of this stamp there being two other recorded used marginal blocks of 20 and one non-marginal block of this same size. The colour is superb – the fugitive green protected by the block not having been soaked off the original piece of the package to which the stamps are affixed.  There is no creasing – a fabulous and extremely rare corner marginal used multiple in exceptional condition for such a large piece. A used block of 4 was catalogued in the 2006 QV Specialised Volume 1 at £600.  £2,750.00  IMAGE
