WM
6. 4d SG82:
fine used with Brunswick Star cancel and INVERTED watermark.
A rare combination and the first we have seen.
Price: £58.00 IMAGE
WM 7. 2/- SG120a:
very fine used example in the rare COBALT shade with clear Certificate
signed by Robson Lowe. Small paper
adherence and hinge remnant on the reverse and the light cancel leaves both the
Queen’s profile and most of the Head clear thus allowing this distinctive
shade to be seen to advantage. Rare
stamp so fine but made exceedingly rare by having an INVERTED watermark.
A catalogue value allowing for the inverted watermark and the premium for
lightly used is well in excess of £10,000.
First we have seen with inverted watermark.
Price: £2,475.00 IMAGE
WM
8. 21/2d SG141 plate 17 ‘LE’:
very fine used example with a blunt/pulled perf at right.
Cancel leaves the head largely clear on this very scarce plate.
Has the variety INVERTED watermark and is the first such example we have
been able to offer. Catalogued at £1,100
with premium for so lightly cancelled. Price:
£175.00 IMAGE
WM 9. 1/- SG151 plate 13 ‘DI’:
wing margin example extremely lightly used, small part of a bluish dumb?
Cancellation leaves most of QV’s head clear.
INVERTED watermark with an extremely light diagonal crease mostly in the
wing margin and hard to detect even under a glass.
A rare stamp with watermark inverted and catalogued, with lightly used
premium at £2,600. Price:
£295.00 IMAGE 1 IMAGE

WM 10. 4d SG153 plate 16 ‘DI’:
very fine used with large part cds, INVERTED watermark, catalogued at £500.
Very scarce stamp so fine with this variety.
Price: £190.00 IMAGE
WM 11. 1d SG166 ‘TG’:
very fine used, Manchester squared circle, March 15 1881 with INVERTED
watermark. Very scarce stamp
especially in this condition and under-catalogued at £275.
Price: £195.00 IMAGE
WM
12. 1d lilac SG172:
very fine un-mounted mint top marginal strip of three with INVERTED
watermark. Top margin also has the
watermark letters ‘P O S’ INVERTED. The P O S T A G E watermark can only be
inverted from stamps from the top and bottom margins of each sheet of 240 which
applies therefore to only 12 stamps per sheet. An
attractive rare positional piece. Price:
£85.00 IMAGE
WM 13. 1/2d ‘Jubilee’ SG197:
fine used with a Cardiff squared circle for May 3 1900 and with INVERTED
watermark. A very scarce stamp
especially in this condition and hopelessly undervalued by Gibbons.
Try and ask them for an example at their catalogue price!
