David Feldman's 22nd Rarities of the World Auction June 6, 2019

– 85 – Stamp Printings - The Stanley Gibbons catalog order for Barwani stamp printings has been altered based upon an article in the Collectors Club Philatelist, March 1978 to September 1978, by MacGillycuddy and by covers in this collection that pre-date the first cataloged stamp and are not recorded by MacGillycuddy. Also, specialists have found in the Barwani State Postal Archives information on the number of stamps printed and issuance date for the first six printings beginning in October 1932 and this information updates the printing order presented by MacGillycuddy. Descriptions & Highlights - 1917-1947 This outstanding collection expertly presented on album pages shows covers and cards with the earliest usages of the first stamps, many extremely rare or possibly unique frankings. Stamps with essays, proofs, unused & used with single, multiples, blocks and sheets, showing a variety of shades, papers, printings and perforations including imperforate between varieties, some with plate and printing error. It is important to note that items and personal study findings are highlighted by presentation techniques such as underlining, bold type and boxes. Gibbons lists 52 basic stamps. All are shown in sheets, one a reconstructed sheet. Gibbons also lists 42 varieties, all except seven are shown.
