1970 5c decimal definitive, upper right corner pair showing strong double corner paper fold, resulting in a large portion of the corner stamp remaining un-printed. Superb unmounted. AN EXTRAORDINARY VARIETY, ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT IN THE ENTIRE MARDON PRINTER ERA. SG 443 and var.
1972 2½c Pollution, showing large portion of the stamp with a second lighter image of the design towards the upper right. Superb unmounted. Striking and RARE. SG 470 var.

Note: a lower right corner vertical pair of this same duty exist with a significant portion of the design missing, most likely as a result of an intrusion on the plate. This single example is most probably associated with that major variety. And most unusual for Mardon printers, who examined each printed sheet to detect any printing faults
