1895 ESSAY for the provisional '1d.' on 2½d bright mauve with the ‘1d.’ surcharge and bars in red instead of green and with bars above and below the value. Block of four, very fine ‘mint’. Extremely rare and this multiple believed to be unique. SG 214 essay.
Note: This essay was first reported in the May 1978 issue of the Transvaal Philatelist by Harold Criddle who recorded a mint pair and a single (all with round stops), and a cancelled single and one example used on cover (both with square stops). |
