| NORTH BORNEO 1894 Pictorials 1c to 18c, seven values, printer's samples in the characteristic unissued colours, IMPERFORATE and with exceptionally wide margins, each with 3½mm punch hole and type WS1 'WATERLOW & SONS LTD / SPECIMEN' overprint (in RED on the 6c, but the usual black on the other values), affixed to individual pieces. An extraordinary group, clearly specially prepared for display purposes and resembling die proofs (but mostly with tiny traces of adjacent stamps, proving they were cut from sheets of nine.) |
