Experimental Aniline Ink VARIETY. NH example of the rare 1941 issue 15c Northern Seal printed with aniline ink. First "discovered" and marketed by Kasimir Bileski (read his sales blurb for the full story). This variety, while inexplicably presently unlisted in Unitrade, has been listed in the Walsh/Butt Newfoundland Specialized (NSSC) catalogue for some time as #248b. Only 100 examples of the aniline printing were produced. The lot includes a normal stamp for comparison. 7th Edition Walsh/Butt catalogue NSSC US$225.00=
