33Bb

#33Bb, 1/- Pale blue green, Die IIB, double perforation, block of four, bottom pair displaying almost coincident double perforations at sides and at bottom, although both perforations almost superimposed on one another, well centered, o.g. which is a bit "dull", very fine (A$600+). (Image)

558

33Bb

#33Bb, 1/- Pale blue green, Die IIB, double perforations, official substitution of a complete horizontal strip of six at the top of the left pane, required because of an aberrant strike of the perforating comb in the top margin that would have extended into the design of all six original stamps, while the usual small repair tabs are evident at top and at the bottom of the strip, it remarkably was inserted with the selvage at both sides still attached resulting in margins of double thickness, while such major substitutions are occasionally found in the King George V series, this is an unusually large substitution for a Kangaroo issue, yellowish o.g., small toned spot on the reverse of one stamp, fine and striking.
