unused 1882 CA 2c. rose variety perforation 12 printed on thick rough paper, a very good example being quite well-centred and of good colour, faint stain towards upper right corner, weak lower left corner perf. and ungummed as usual. One of the great rarities of British Empire philately; Webb records six examples, a figure that we believe has not been exceeded. Originally part of the Worthington block. R.P.S. Certificate (1950). S.G. 32b, #14,000. Photo in colour
