1932, the unique and remarkable series of working die proofs from
the Waterlow archive, 6teen proofs in all, each in black on thick
wove, with mostly 2mm margins except 6mm at top where the die and
roller numbers, and production dates, are written in black M/S,
Each proof with diagonal Cancelled/3/9/34 in red M/S, indicating
the destruction date of the dies, the series comprises, 1 composite
of the two heads: 2 master of the double vignette/for the 1 s to 10
s, values: 3 undenominated master die for the 1/4 d, to 6 d: 4
undenominated frame for the 1 s to 10 s,: and then 5-12 individual
die proofs for the 1/4 d, to 6 d, values : 13-16 individual frame
die proofs for the 1 s to 10 s, values, varying degrees of soiling,
to be expected with such production proofs, and some faults, with
the undenominated frame and 3 d, die proof both cut in at right,
nevertheless a splendid and very desirable frontispiece for this
popular set, and an essential component of a serious collection of
this country, neatly presented on two album pages, ex
Marston/Cooley and Maisel XF-SUP! Estimate 12.000€.
