;) | REDIRECTED, St. Vincent postmark/cancel (PML.99) straight line instructional mark on 1883 QV 2½d on 1d lake (SG.40), almost certainly unique on this stamp. Proofed at the GPO London in December 1866. PML handbook Page 129 records no known use, this being the only example seen by me. £275 |
;) ;) | ST. VINCENT provisionally used PERUVIAN VALE, St. Vincent postmark/cancel dated incorrectly C/MY 27 84 (84 instead of 94) on QV 1d red (SG.48b). The apparent loss of the "9" in "94" year slug would seemingly have inspired the manuscript cancel "Peruvian Vale 29.5.94" of two days later on QV ½d green (Jaffe collection). £48 |
;) | ST. VINCENT provisionally used at PERUVIAN VALE, St. Vincent postmark/cancel dated C/JU 2 93 on QV 1d red (SG.48b). £40 |

;) | PARCEL POST, St. Vincent postmark/cancel (PML.79) currently the only recorded example in red ink part dated C/-U 11 96 on QV ½d green (SG.47). £75 |
;) | A10 (brown ink) used KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent postmark/cancel (PML.3) crisply struck in brown ink on 1866 QV 4d deep blue (SG.6), stamp with downward tear top left corner. The brown ink period is thought to be mid-October 1867 until the end of the year (PML handbook Page 86). £95 |
;) | The SG uncatalogued 1866 QV 1/- in bluish slate (SG.8 variety), ST. VINCENT stamps: A very fine exceedingly rare fresh mounted mint example of this unlisted stamp with printer's guide-line lower right corner, together with a fine used example with crisp horiz. brown "A10" (PML.3), plus a mint pair of the QV 1/- indigo (SG.13) for comparison. The QV 1/- indigo (SG.13) was invoiced FE 27 1869 and the known covers spanning period AP 24 69 to OC 10 70 all fall within the use of the VERTICAL "A10" used period SP 25 68 to JU 10 72. Use of the horizontal "A10" on 1/- indigo is therefore an impossible contemporary combination. The St. Vincent PML handbook Page 34 acknowledges that the August 1866 QV 1/- Perforation B 11-13 exist in both the listed slate-grey (SG.8, Cat.£2500 mint) and also in a "bluish-shade" and initially surmised that at least two sheets perforated B slate-grey were mixed among the 500 plus sheets of the consignment. BWISC member Dr. Bruce Aitken has suggested that as this stamp was printed alongside the QV 4d deep blue (SG.6) the printers may have realised they were a few sheets short and made a special printing that came out a bit bluish in order to fill the order. Brown ink was used in the last 3 months of 1867, and used examples of this bluish slate variety were offered in the Jaffe collection. £3500 |
;) | K used KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent postmark/cancel dated MY 23 85 on QV 1d rose-red REVERSED CA wmk (SG.48x). £5 |
