Lot 754 Tasmania #43a 1867 6d gray lilac Chalon Head, Watermark Double Lined Numeral 6, used, with part Longley c.d.s. cancels (on North Bruny Island). Four large margins and “dry printed” effect. The stamp is described by owner has having faint indications of rouletting on both sides and at top, but due to the nature of early crude attempts by private firms at perforations, the possibility exists this might be another type, such as Scott 14 (imperforate), or #38 (pin perforations), etc. Regardless, this is still a nice stamp. Scott CV$1,450.
