Description
1924-32 Bradbury Wilkinson 3f on 2s6d triple overprint, two albino; the discovery sheet of 40 with the upper five rows showing the variety, which led to its listing in S.G. (unpriced) with copy of the letter from the dealer who discovered it and from the S.G. catalogue editor who listed it (who inexplicably can only see a double overprint, one albino), from plate 2/4 right (state 1) showing Nissen major re-entry R1/3 and major re-entry R7/1, a few tone spots and a little separation in the margin, a fantastic and unique showpiece; cert. RPS (2014) which harshly states “top five rows also show “bounce” of surcharge giving slight impression of triple strike”). Catalogue ref: S.G. 200b
