Postage Dues. Accumulation / study of the first British postage due series, issued in 1914 with all values present, including the tricky 1.5d value. Mostly used, with a few mint. Noted many inverted watermarks, a few margin pairs, corner margins, multiples and one control number pair. Good shade differentiation, all counted as the basic Scott singles, with normal watermarks (with sideways pointing right as seen from the back). No premiums added for multiples, margin pairs or inverted watermarks (sideways pointing to the left as seen from back). Lots of upside if valued by Gibbons, which offers large premiums for some of these varieties. The previous owner has sorted each denomination by watermark (regular or inverted). A good lot for the specialist or reseller. Owner's 2025 Scott US$409.00 =
