British Post Offices in Siam : (SG 20c) 1882-85 BANGKOK Double overprint 'B' 8c. Orange wmk Crown CA, Perf 14, 1882 Straits ovptd 'B' Type 1, variety overprint double, part Bangkok CDS used example, one of the rarest of the double overprints. An exceptionally difficult stamp to locate in cds condition, due to delicate colour, this being a particularly fine example, described on the BPA colour photo-certificate (2019) as bearing manuscript line at foot, creases (absolutely minimal), soiled (barely) and a little rubbed (hardly), is genuine - most of which, apart from the authenticity, is irrelevant because a better example hardly exists. Crucially, clearly defined double 'B' overprint. Exceptionally rare. Cat £4250 (image available)

Lot 20107
Gibraltar : (SG Z ??) 1855 Great Britain USED in Gibraltar: The Discovery copy - UNLISTED BY STANLEY GIBBONS of the 1855 (GB SG Nr.21) 1d red-brown P16 wmk small crown Die II cancelled by clear well-positioned 'A26' SG Z3 canceller type. This stamp is unlisted by SG as cancelled by the small Z3 'A26' canceller type - yet this example comes with BPA 27 NOV 1967 certificate of authenticity - stating genuine but thinned/fault, it is also misperfed, signed by prestigious expert 'Robson Lowe' and well-known 'Pemberton' Experts and one other signatory. As discovery copy the buyer should show this stamp to SG for classification and a new SG number, in the meantime let's consider value. This stamp cannot be 'less' rare than the 1841 1d imperf SG Z16 catalogued at £2,500, and being 'unique' after 163 years should in our opinion really command a catalogue value approaching double that value. Consequently we're starting this 'new discovery' example off at a 'tad' below £1,250=: certainly the price will reduce till sold but it will not be given away - so how far a reduction and how long offered for sale is another matter. A true treasure gem for the Gib 'specialist' collector (image available)
Lot 20208
Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 2 PL1a Wi) 1840 1d black T-F Plate 1a 'Watermark Inverted' - an extraordinary large four even margins example cancelled by red-brown maltese cross with no faults and in quite exceptional condition, very fine used for this. INVERTED WATERMARK is rare upon plate 1a. A trace of plate wear above 'Y' of penny. See SG QV specialised for listing and catalogue value. A rarity for the 1d black specialist / inverted watermark collector Cat £4000 (image available)
Lot 20237
Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 5 Plate 1) 1840 2d blue plate 1 letters D-A to D-D, incredibly a 4 margins horizontal strip of 4 from close but clear base of D-C & D-D, to three quarter HUGE margins and no faults, bar impression of black maltese cross showing as slight indent upon right hand stamp D-D, fine colour, no creases or other faults, each stamp cancelled by single indeterminate black maltese cross. Pairs catalogue SG £2,000 - x 2 = £4,000 + we estimate premium for strip 100% = Extrapolated SG catalogue value £8,000. We searched on-line for a similar calibre 4 margin horizontal strip sold / offered, the nearest we could find being a horizontal strip of 3 - four margin but cut into on the right-hand stamp which sold for £829 in an eBay auction against multiple bids. No comparison against a 4 margin strip of four with no faults - but, at least a starting point to establish value. We estimate this strip to be worth at least double the eBay realisation. SG had nothing comparable except a marginal strip of 3 fine used at £9,500 or a strip of 6 on a cover to HMS Gorgon at £22,500. Makes our starting price look positively cheap. RARE strip of four. Cat £8000 (image available)
Lot 20242
Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 6 PL1) 1840 2d pale blue D-F plate 1 'TW' joined and indented 'O', WATERMARK INVERTED carefully checked, verified and guaranteed, simply fabulous clear even colour 4 margins example, close but clear SW, cancelled by two superfine clear grey-black maltese crosses, tinest imperceptible abrasion to frame-line of 'D' square and some reverse thinning not readily apparent, but a finer appearance inverted watermark example may be even harder to find, on-line research located only two examples of 2d blue INVERTED WATERMARK - both apparently inferior, of relatively poor appearance and colour and the 'best' carrying a £1,450= retail price. The only other example located being retailed by Stanley Gibbons VFU 4 margins and no faults retail price £6,250. (ie full catalogue value). 1840 2d blues with watermark inverted are genuinely rare. If you seek the best 'affordable' example this may be it. Cat £6250 (image available)

Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 53) 1870 1½d rose-red (plate 1) ERROR of lettering OP-PC, 100% perfect centring, design clear of perforation upon all four sides, I have never seen this rare stamp with such perfect centring, confirmed by on-line research, not a single example located for sale came even close. Add clear letters all four corners and fine even colour - the OP-PC error is rarely found with all four letters clear confirming authenticity beyond doubt. 125% SG Premium catalogue value example. If you collect the best line engraved I challenge you to find a better used clear corner letters perfectly centred example at any price. Cat £4500 (image available)

Lot 20383
Great Britain - KGV : (SG N14(15)) 1913 Royal Cypher ½d Deep blue-green, the famous 'Myrtle' shade, unmounted mint south-west corner marginal control 'L 18' block of six. Natural gum bend affects two values, one fractionally toned perf/ original paper inclusion below neck upper left-hand stamp, hinge remnant in margin, these being trivial imperfections, otherwise exceptionally rare brilliant fresh myrtle colour control block of 6. 'London' retail as singles at £225 each alone exceeds £1,350= but try finding another unmounted mint control multiple of this rare shade, if such exists. As near to perfection as we shall ever see, we estimate this to be a £2,000+ retail multiple in some quarters Cat £2000 (image available)
Lot 20392
Great Britain - KGVI : (SG 476) 1939 KGVI 2/6d brown 'square high values' COMPLETE Unmounted Mint Never Hinged SHEET of 40 (8 x 5), with selvedge. Large multiples/complete sheets of this 'key' high value are becoming increasing rare to find. Unmounted mint singles sell for £50 each retail so that 40 examples in a complete sheet should command in excess of £2,000 retail with a total SG catalogue £4,000(+), however this is counterbalanced by condition with 'flat' original gum, reverse aging and couple of diagonal creases which barely affect the impact of this remarkable find. Attractive and increasingly rare in this format - we believe this complete sheet of the key 2/6d value to be worth £1,275 Cat £4000 (image available)
Lot 20506
Malaya - B.M.A. : 1945 Revenue-$100 dull purple and ultramarine mounted mint, has the faintest trace of a gum tone mentioned for the sake of accuracy, a rare stamp in mint condition, the $25 in mint condition sold for E650- plus 20 % premium in Gartner 2018 sale, extrapolate the value of the $100! (image available)
Lot 2521
Burma - Japanese Occupation : (SG J72) 1943 State Crest 5c scarlet complete sheet of 56 fine unused, two stamps at foot are torn, otherwise fine, Stanley Gibbons states that blocks are scarce as they were usually sold affixed to envelopes, a complete sheet is probably quite rare Cat £1624 (image available) [US1]
Lot 7629

Lot 8785
Great Britain - KGV : (SG 411/3N70(3)) 1915 10/- De La Rue, the rare Bright 'Cambridge' Blue seahorse shade, an exceptionally fine mint full original gum exceedingly light hinge example which appears almost unmounted mint, superb in colour, well centred with just a hint of a few irregular perfs so typical of this scarce printing. Comparable examples researched on-line yield an unmounted mint example offered for £10,000, another example offered for circa £7,000 which had irregular perfs and was not as fresh, this example being exceptionally fresh and of superb colour accompanied by clear 1977 RPS photo-certificate of authenticity 'within the shade band' stating Bright Cambridge Blue N70(5) - now N70(3). SG catalogue £9,500 as hinged, retails in the region of £7,000 if you can find one so fine, BUT the one key difference is that this example appears to be the best centred we have seen, in our research we've not seen better. We've only handled one or two examples of this key rare shade within the past twenty years (RPSL Certificate) Cat £9500 (image available) [US2]
Lot 9443
Great Britain - Covers - QV : 1820s-1950s Just how often does an original archive turn up these days? Looking back, I remember being on the periphery of the discovery of the ‘Corsini’ correspondence – even today when such letters turn up they seem to be avidly snapped up. But, all those tales of Solicitor’s cellars and crate-fulls of penny blacks on cover seem to be flights of fancy don’t they. Well, not any longer; I’d say this is the first original archive we’ve seen in thirty years. That’s remarkable, utterly remarkable. Understandably the vendor wished to keep the entire archive intact, preserving it for posterity. Unfortunately (but fortunate for the owner) the discovery of a 4 margin 1d black rare Plate XI on cover within the archive significantly ‘skewed’ the value of the archive increasing the estimate value by 5 figures upward so that the archive ‘intact’ - valued at £20,000+ was sufficient to deter most buyers. The plate XI cover has now been sold - thereby presenting postal historians and historic wine researchers/ wine aficioandos an unique unparalled opportunity to acquire the entire archive (excluding one cover only for which a scan is available) at a much more affordable collector/researcher’s price. This being the archive of Pulling & Co., Wine merchants of Hereford. The archive includes price lists, advertising cards, invoices dating from the 1820s, many 100s – at first we thought probably high hundreds of items housed in three large tubs, but when the team actually waded through we counted an extraordinary approximately 3,400 items of which in the region of half appear to be philatelic with a substantial balance in documents, receipts, invoices, uncancelled letters, and including hundreds of ‘Pulling’s’ own brand bottle labels, cards/marketing material etc. Highlights include 1d black Plate 10 on entire letter (4 margin but aged) from Worcester MY 11 1841 tied black Maltese Cross, close at top right otherwise four margins. There are a few other 1d black covers and a three margin 1840 2d blue on 1843 cover from Dublin, very late usage. Noted are many imperf and perf 1d red covers including much postmark interest, Irish, Spoons, etc. Invoices to Pulling & Co. postmarked from Cognac, France include four 1851-52 covers bearing Ceres imperf 40c orange pairs and three with Ceres imperf 40c orange horiz strips of four, including one 4 margins and unfolded – SG catalogue £600 - £700 each stamp depending upon shade and excluding premium for strips. An original lot, offered completely intact as received and condition variable throughout, but obviously including ‘plum’ items, excellent lot for a wine enthusiast with huge scope for research. Although perhaps not of pecuniary value what I particularly like about this archive is the social history and the fabulous engraved ‘letterheads’ and designs of invoices and receipts redolent of the period. This archive is the only lot offered in this auction which may be personally viewed at our offices, strictly by appointment only.
