Description:
1882-87 New Values & Designs ½d brown-red/cream (faults), 1½d dull violet-blue, 8d lilac-purple & 10d ochre all with 'Specimen' handstamp in script type (KTM Type 14), large-part o.g. Ex JRW Purves and Ray Kelly: acquired on 1.12.2007 for $2760. [The apparently high price in 2007 was due to unused & used examples of the 1½d being very rare. In fact, we have never seen either. KTM state at page 46 that the official archival "set" are unused & that these are the only recorded examples with a 'Specimen' handstamp. Being cancelled as per Lot 281289 "...it seems reasonable to assume that these stamps, together with the earlier ones, constitute an archival [set]"] (4)
