Previous|1...91011121314...27|Next Lot #101 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d blue SG 3a block of 4, good even margins, small scissor-cut between the upper units, the left-hand pair with a very minor ironed-out bend mentioned only for total accuracy, Cat £1800++. Ex Lord Vestey: acquired for £900. There is such a gradation of "blue" shades from very pale to quite deep that we see no validity in separating "pale blue" SG 3 & "blue" SG 3a: we consider that the listings should be consolidated. We also note that the "deep dull blue" is from the SymbolΩGradea/a(a) View details Estimate$1,500Price Realized$1,150StatusSold Lot #102 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d deep dull blue SG 3b, good even margins, unused, Cat £2750. Much scarcer than SG 3c, the "slate-blue", which is priced 45% higher. BPA Certificate (2008) refers to a totally undetectable "vertical crease in the right margin". [This stamp has slightly larger and more regular margins than Sir Gawaine Baillie's example that sold for $4600] This is a rare shade from the first printing and, as noted above, should therefore be renumbered SG 3. According to Brian Pope i SymbolΩGradea View details Estimate$2,000Price Realized$1,500StatusSold Lot #103 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d deep dull blue SG 3b from the top of the sheet, margins good to very large, tiny insignificant stain at upper-right, unused, Cat £2750. Ex Lord Vestey: acquired for £1140. BPA Certificate (2007). [This is an intermediate shade, significantly darker than the previous lot but not as deep as the "slate blues" that follow] SymbolΩGradea View details Estimate$2,500Price Realized$1,800StatusSold Lot #104 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d slate-blue SG 3c, margins good to large, unused, Cat £2750. RPSofV Certificate (2013). [This is another intermediate shade, noticeably "greyer" than the previous lots but not as deep as the other "slate blues" that follow] SymbolΩGradea View details Estimate$2,000StatusUnsold Lot #105 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d slate-blue SG 3c [R2/16, 'AU' of 'AUSTRALIA' Distorted], good even margins, manuscript initials in ink on the reverse, unused, Cat £4000. Ex "Austin" (John du Pont) and Lord Vestey: acquired for £1440. [This is a Creased Transfer variety that is not listed by Gibbons. As Pos 36, it was immediately to the left of SG 3j. See "The 4d Lithograph 1857-1864" (1984) by Brian Pope at p25] SymbolΩGradea- View details Estimate$2,500Price Realized$1,900StatusSold Lot #106 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d slate-blue SG 3c with Dark Moon By Swan's Head, margins good to large, unused, Cat £4000. Superb! Ex Lord Vestey: acquired for £1920. BPA Certificate (2007). SymbolΩGradea+ View details Estimate$4,000Price Realized$2,400StatusSold Lot #107 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d slate-blue SG 3c, an unusually large example, unused, Cat £4000. Superb! Ex Lord Vestey: acquired for £2880. BPA Certificate (2007). SymbolΩGradea+ View details Estimate$5,000Price Realized$3,000StatusSold Lot #108 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: CATALOGUED TRANSFER VARIETIES: 4d blue with 'T' of 'POSTAGE' Shaved to a Point at Foot SG 3d, margins just clear to good, 15-bars '8' of Fremantle, Cat £1000. RPSofV Certificate (2016). [This variety occurs once in each pane of 60] Gibbons lists twenty-two Transfer Varieties SG 3d to 3y. #3e to 3h - the famous Inverted Frame - are exceptionally rare & occur only in the first printing. All the others are very elusive. Fine examples appear at auction infrequently. SymbolgGradea View details Estimate$600Price Realized$460StatusSold Lot #109 FOUR PENCE - IMPERFORATE: 4d blue with Tilted Border SG 3i, margins close to good, unused, Cat £3000. RPSofV Certificate (2016) mentions "black marks on reverse" that are an utter triviality. [This variety occurs four times in the sheet of 240] The Tilted Frame is easiest understood by reference to the depth of the water below the Swan being greater at right than at left. It was apparently a Re-Entered Transfer: below the 'OS' of 'POSTAGE' there are vestiges of the same two letters.
