# 20 (also some 20b)
|
228 used examples of the 1 Penny red, perf 14 x 14 (SG 37/42), creating an almost complete RE-CONSTRUCTED SHEET of the 240 subjects by corner letter A-A thru T-L (missing only 12: CA, DA, DL,HA,JA,JE, JL,MB, MI,OD,PA, RA). Most appear Fine or better. In checking the colours by both the SG colour gauge and Methuen there are definitely quite a number of the SG #42 and likely some SG #36a (cat value £375 pounds each). Mostly plates 50 & 51 Alphabet IV. Also saw some alphabet II, and plates R15 & R16 plus a few multiples (pairs). A specialist should find some treasure here, never mind the plethora of different unchecked for plates, re-entries, and cancels. The cat value is based on the common stamp only (GB #20), not allowing for any probable 20b's or other potential finds. Expect some faults but generally in Fine condition.
