ITEM 1
First up this time is the 1/2d stamp of 1870, the smallest stamp ever issued by Great Britain. Commonly referred to as ‘Bantams’, they were primarily used for despatch of newspapers and there were 480 stamps in a sheet! For the GB collector they are interesting because the watermark, which is the word half penny in script writing actually spreads across three stamps because they are so small. Like the subsequent penny reds, these stamps have plate numbers on them although only 16 different numbers were used. We offer 4 different ‘Bantam’ plates in sound used condition, which will catalogue a minimum £60 without faults for £19.95.

ITEM 2
Our next offering is the 1855 – 57 issue, the very first ‘surface printed’ stamps. They are distinguishable from the later surface printed issues because they do not have any corner letters to denote their position within the sheet. Three values were issued like this and we offer two of them here. SG66 / 66a being the 4d (dependent upon shade) which catalogues £100 and SG70 being the 6d Pale Lilac which catalogues £95. These stamps are notoriously difficult to find in good condition because of the type of paper used and of course these were the first such types and thus experimental to a degree. At our price of £19.95 per stamp you will receive a stamp in average condition, which will mean basically sound but may have the very odd minor defect or heavyish cancellation. Light postmarks on these stamps are not common. 1855 – 57 4d SG66/66a for £19.95 or 6d SG70 for £19.95, order both for £39.90 post-free.

ITEM 3
Next up we provide you with a choice of two items, or of course you can select both and save yourself some postage and climb up the discount ladder at the same time. On the left is the 4d red with SMALL corner letters. You may have already acquired the LARGE corner letter variety which we offered in Flyer G. We can now offer its predecessor, SG 80 the small corner letter variety which is in fact the scarcer stamp, and catalogues at £90. Stamps at this percentage of catalogue will include the odd nibbled perforation/slight fault or heavier cancellation. On the right of this text is its 6d (SG84) counterpart also with SMALL corner letters, and catalogued at £80, the same comments upon condition apply. Either the 4d or 6d for £19.95 each, or both £39.90 postfree.

ITEM 4
We recently purchased a vast stock of used penny reds, which have been cut from the original envelopes to show the full Scottish postmarks. This is the traditionally accepted method of displaying postmarks and the overall quality of these is very good. The majority of the stamps are Penny Red plates and are completely ‘unchecked’ by us for plate numbers – we simply do not have the time so there is a real chance of a bargain here. We offer 20 Penny Reds (or multiples thereof – 40, 60 or 80 even) on piece with Scottish Postmarks. We cannot guarantee they will all be different town postmarks but you will get a variety, the ones illustrated here are representative of what you will receive.

ITEM 5
The 1883 / 84’ Lilac and Greens’ Issue is a very rare and sought after set in fine condition because the inks used were not colourfast. As a result the vast majority of used examples are of ‘faded’ appearance and the colours are not as sharp as they should be. All of the values above 4d are catalogued at least £175 a stamp. We have been fortunate to make a bulk purchase of all the values (except for the scarcest 9d) which we are pleased to offer now. The stamps supplied will be faded from the true colours but nevertheless highly collectable sound examples of this difficult issue. Firstly we have SG190 21/2d Lilac and SG194 6d Green combined catalogue value £212. Then we offer SG192 4d Dull Green (cat £175) or SG193 5d Dull Green (cat £175) or SG196 1/- Dull Green (cat £200). These four different offers are £19.95 each or purchase all four for £75 post-free for all 5 stamps and a total catalogue value of a whopping £762 or less than 10% cat!

ITEM 6
In 1880 – 1883 Two Revenue Stamps were overprinted for use as postage stamps during this period, namely SG159 3d on 3d and SG162 6d on 6d both of which catalogue £130 each. Both these stamps have a very distinctive ‘red’ overprint of value to denote their postal usage. Stamps supplied may have the odd minor fault but will be of a perfectly collectable standard. We offer 3d on 3d or 6d on 6d individually at £19.95 each or you can take advantage of free postage and buy both stamps together for £39.90 post free.
