It is a work in progress and aims for comprehensiveness. There were five issues, 1d reddish brown / scarlet, 2d blue, 4d yellow, 6d green and 1 shilling violet / lilac, also a 1d overprint and 1d stamp duty. The stamps come from my and other collections, Ebay, Queensland Stamp Collecting Facebook Group, Stampboards.com & auctions.

Queensland blue stamp - Burele Band<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Existing paper stocks ran out before new stocks had been received from England. A quantity of white handmade paper manufactured by T. H. Saunders and watermarked with his name and the date 1877 was procured and 12 scroll bands of interlaced wavy lines were lithographed in pale lilac upon it by the Government Engraver as a substitute for a watermark (the so-called burelé band or Moire on back as described by the Scott Catalog). The 1d and 2d postage stamps were printed on this paper - with the first issues being in early October 1879 - as well as the then current duty stamps. These bands differed considerably from those on the large fiscal stamps from 1871-76, which were narrow blue bands with rather wide spaces between the interlaced lines. The burelé band is not always easy to see as the ink is water soluble. At high magnification the burelé impression can sometimes be seen even if it is colourless and any unwatermarked stamp is likely to be from this printing.

Queensland Essay book extract<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is an extract from Queensland Postage Stamps 1879 to 1912 by Kenneth Scudder, 2013, pp. 45-7 covering the essays produced for a permanent half penny stamp, which was subsequently not required and so was never produced or postally used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Images of these essays can be seen <a href="http://queensland1sideface.blogspot.com/2012/02/queensland-first-sideface-essays.html" target="_blank">here</a>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>A PERMANENT HALF-PENNY STAMP</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The provision of a permanent Half-penny stamp was
immediately put into operation and, as the matter was of some urgency, it was
decided to print by lithography, using an existing copper die engraved by
William Knight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The initial design of this Half-penny stamp consisted of an
engraved profile of the Queen's head on a ground of vertical lines in an oval
frame, surrounded by a broad oval band of engraving simulating engine turned
lines. The words "HALF PENNY" were at the top and
"QUEENSLAND" at the bottom, in tablets, respectively above and below
the broad oval band. The tail of the "Q" of "QUEENSLAND"
was to the left, although this appears to have remained unnoticed for some
time. The whole was enclosed in an outer frame with the four corners rounded.
It is curious that this is the only Queensland design in which the value has
been placed above the name Queensland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Queen's head has been copied from that on the Southern &
Western Railway parcels stamps of 1867, the dies of which are believed to have
been engraved by William Knight. The size of the head has been reduced to 72%
of the original. Although the engraving follows very similar lines, being
smaller, there are fewer lines in some places. With Knight also being a
photographer, it is possible he used this method to obtain the reduced dimensions
to follow in the new engraving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">imperforate essays are known on a thick wove paper in black
and red, and on the 2nd Type "Crown over Q" watermarked paper in dull
purple, bright blue, vermilion and scarlet. In these the watermark is sideways.
In the Royal Collection is a pair in scarlet with, in the wide selvedge above, "Adopted
/26 : 2 : 80" and "Specimen /Essays" in manuscript.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This must have been immediately withdrawn, as further essays
were produced in which the shading around the head was removed. There are
paired essays in black on thick paper, and in blue and dull purple on watermarked
paper, with the watermark sideways. In these pairs one has a shaded background
and the other a clear background, although both still have the "Q"
reversed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally, the mistake in the "Q" was noticed. This
was corrected, and lithographic transfers were taken of the unshaded background
design and laid down on a stone from which a sheet of 120 could be printed.
Basset Hull wrote that proof sheets were printed in black, purple, blue,
orange, vermilion and scarlet on plain and watermarked paper and submitted for
approval. The watermark was the 2nd Type "Crown over Q", upright.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the Australia Post Archival Collection, Melbourne, is an
imperforate piece showing two horizontal rows of 10, printed in vermilion with
each stamp lightly overprinted "SPECIMEN", Type 1. It bears the date
27.2.80, and a signature which presumably is the signature of approval,
although it may be the signature of the printer. In any event, it was dated the
day before the Half-penny stamp was cancelled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">With only seven days elapsing from the notification on the 20
February that a new Half-penny stamp was required to the final production of a
sheet or two from a lithographic stone, it would seem highly unlikely, if not impossible,
to complete even the initial engraving in this time. It would seem that the die
of the initial design must have already been in existence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At least one Essay for a Postcard exists with this
Half-penny design in which the head is on a cleared background and the
"Q" has the corrected tail. Although this indicates it was produced
sometime after the stamps in question, the connection to the Postcard is
important.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Post Office had long been interested in having Postcards and this was only delayed until the necessary legislation was passed.
Approval was finally given in the Postcard and Postal Note Act, 1880, which
came into force on 1 October 1880.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It would seem then that a die for the initial design of this
Half-penny stamp must have been in existence prior to February 1880. This would
explain how the proof sheets were produced in such a short time. It may also explain
why this design was so different to the then current issue postage stamps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also needing some explanation is the apparent speed in which
it was possible to correct the reversed tail to the "Q". Because the
intended printing process was to be lithography, it was a simple matter to fill
in the unwanted tail and engrave a new one, as very little pressure was
required between the transfer paper and the die. In this correction a small tell-tale
mark was left inside the "Q".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The <i>Queenslander</i>
Saturday 19 October 1878, p. 85</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Visitors the late
exhibition may have observed in the fine arts gallery two glassed
frames containing a number of electrotypes of duty stamps; but beyond
giving them a passing glance and wondering whit they could be, few we
think who did so could take in the half of what they implied, and
without some explanation we question if anyone would be any the wiser
for their having seen them. Mr. William Knight, the Government
Engraver and head of the Stamp Printing Department, was the
exhibitor. He has been in connection-with that office ever since its
establishment, now some twelve years ago, and all stamps have
hitherto been printed from the steel plates direct, or from transfers
on Lithographic stones. In either case the process of printing ia
very slow, say about l60 sheets a-day, and consequently very
expensive. Mr. Knight, however, knowing that electrotypy had been
availed of for the purpose of cheapening the production without
sacrificing the quality of the work to any appreciable extent, set
himself to the task, and the contents of those two glazed frames were
the result.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">They have just begun to
put them into practical use at the lithographic office, and in future
the day's work will be quadrupled, at least; so that, instead of 100
sheets as heretofore being the day's work, from 600 to 1000 will be
produced. The means by which this is accomplished is roughly thus:—
Thin electroplates are prepared in a battery of the required stamps;
these are backed with type-metal in small square blocks type high;
they are then locked up in a chase, and worked at an ordinary
printing-press. Of course Mr. Knight claims no more than that he has
applied to the work of his own office what has been in operation in
other places for some time past; but we are pleased to know that some
of the heads of our department are determined not. to drift into the
background, but to keep shoulder to shoulder with the latest
improvements. This, too, of course, means more than the mere
money-saving, which will not be a. trifle, but as the colony grows
the demand is becoming so great for the increased production that
the difficulties thicken; bat this new process will save the office
from all difficulties of that kind for years to come. We are also

and bring it into use. The need of these additions has been greatly
felt of late, particularly in the printing of the electoral
divisions, according to the new Act.</span></div>

Only 1,000 copies of Penge were printed on the Crown Q (1st Type) Paper and only 487 on the Burele Band paper, and so are great rarities. Examples on the Crown Q (2nd Type) Paper are also very scarce given that these plates were only in use from late 1879 to around March 1880 when the third plate was created</span><br />

Within the colony it was 2d. Every additional half ounce was an extra 1d. in the same town and an extra 2d. in the colony. Letters to all other colonies within Australia were charged 2d.<br /><br />Covers addressed to the United Kingdom and franked with these stamps show a variety of routes. From Brisbane mail could be sent North up the coast to Thursday Island, through the Torres Strait which separates Australia from New Guinea, and thence to Suez OR it could be sent South down the coast to Sydney and Melbourne and hence to Suez. On arrival at Suez it could pass through the Mediterranean to Gibraltar, the Bay of Biscay and to a Channel port, the so called ‘direct sea route OR from Suez it could go to Brindisi, overland through Italy and France, ending with a short Channel crossing to London, the so called ‘short sea route’. Other mail was sent from Brisbane to Sydney for onward transmission to San Francisco via New Zealand to be followed by an American overland journey and an Atlantic crossing to reach England. Whichever way was chosen it was first necessary for inland mail to reach Brisbane or to intercept a mail shipping route and this journey within Queensland might well add three weeks to the overall transit time. <br /><br />During the period there were changes in the postal rates which can be shown only on covers bearing the 1879 issue. From 1876 the rate via Brindisi had been 8d. for a single weight letter but for a few weeks at the beginning of 1880 this was decreased to 7d. Covers bearing this rate are rare. In March 1880, the Imperial Post Office, without consultation with the colony, decreed that the ‘direct sea route’ was to be abandoned and that all mail would be routed via Brindisi at a 6d. rate. This had been the rate for the ‘direct sea route’ and initially it would appear that some letters still went by this longer route. At one stage the Queensland authorities introduced a 4d. rate via Torres and the ‘direct sea route’ but this was not recognised by the Imperial Post Office and covers are scarce.<br /><br />Covers of any kind are not all that common. They have not been preserved to the same extent as the Chalon covers and they precede by some fifteen years the plentiful covers of the Tattersall era.</span><div>

UNDERPAID PACIFIC-ROUTE COVER TO G.B.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The first printing of the new 4d took occurred on 6 June 1879</span><span style="background-color: white;">. There are two watermarks.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> Both are perf 12. </span></span><br />

<h4 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1st watermark (SG 131)</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: normal;">Watermark Crown and Q W. 5 </span>issued on 6 June 1879 and the colour was orange yellow. It is estimated that 220,800 stamps were printed before this first type paper ran out. These stamps lasted through to August 1881. They were probably the result of two printings, as there are two shades of orange-yellow</span><br />

<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">the first, the shade of the February 1878 plate proofs but with a heavier, less clear impression</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">the second in a lighter shade, with more yellow and a clearer print</span></li>

<h4 style="margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2nd watermark (SG 141)</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: normal;">Watermark Crown and Q W. 6 issued</span> 12 August 1881 and the colour was <span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Orange- Yellow [shades]. </span>It is estimated that 289,920 were printed in two, or possibly three printings. There are basically three groups of shades in these printings:</span><br />
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Orange-Yellow, August 1881. Similar to the November 1880 colour proofs and lighter than the same colour of the previous 1879 group</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dull Orange-Yellow, early to late 1882</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pale Orange-Yellow, about June 1882. This is quite a weak shade</span></li>

Queensland Sideface<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first printing of the new 6d. took place shortly after the receipt of the new 2nd Type "Crown over Q" </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">watermarked paper, and was issued at the end of December 1879.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Many of these stamps were used for fiscal purposes. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The printings were as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Yellow-Green</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From December 1879. It is estimated that 200,880 were issued for postal use. There would appear to have been at least two printings as the shades fall into two quite distinct groups; a Yellow-Green, which is fairly pale, and a Pale<br />Yellow-Green which is even paler. Some of the latter have been seen dated late 1883 and 1884.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Green</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From March 1881. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is estimated that 342,600 were issued for postal use. There were probably three printings with</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> three fairly distinct shades of Green, and an additional slightly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bluish Green. The latter is much less common than the other shades.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The initial printing was Deep Mauve and Mauve in around May 1880. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There were probably two printings, with an estimated 62,670 issued for postal use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In May 1881 it was issued in a Deep Reddish Violet, reducing to a Pale Reddish Lilac later and i</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">t is estimated that between this date and the end of the issue in February 1883, 138,740 were issued for </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">postal use, and that there were probably at least four printings. I</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">t </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">appears that the colours of the various printings became progressively paler, from Violet to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lilac. One of the printings in the Reddish Lilac has a somewhat spotty appearance. The last printing was </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">probably the Pale Reddish Lilac.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ken Scudder lists a number of distinguishing features. The most prominent are as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 1</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">break in the
triangle in the lower right corner</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">top right corner
frame is notched, same as Type 4 but slightly smaller</span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Break in second line above ‘ E ‘ of ONE</span></li>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">white dot in the
top left spandrel</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 2</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">none</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 3</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Top left corner
has a very slight outward projection</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 4</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">break in the lower
frame between 'E' of one and 'P' of penny</span></li>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">both top frames
have square notches in them</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the two proof blocks below I have highlighted the distinguishing features in red circles. The most obvious identifying feature is the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">break in the lower frame between 'E' of one and 'P' of penny in Type 4. The only way to determine Type 2 is the absence of the features in the other Types.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the top right corner of some stamps a vertical white line joins the inner white frame lines. It is probable that a</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> second die was made from the first electro of 4 stamps that was produced. Both of these were then used to create further quadruple electros, similar to what was done for the 1d postage sideface issue. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In one die the break is present, but missing in the second type. Both dies would be very similar as they would have been from the same original die.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Alan Griffith notes that t<span style="line-height: 150%;">he
printed stamps often demonstrate symptoms of over inking and this may
be attributable to the fact that the paper initially used - Crown
over Q Type I - was not quite suitable for this new form of
letterpress printing. The somewhat looser texture of the paper, which
was not adequately sized, allowed the ink to permeate the surface. This can obscure some of the identifying features described above in the proof impressions which were on thin card and not the watermarked paper.</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268394560095498347.post-50916009628373360622015-07-21T20:46:00.001+10:002023-03-09T12:58:43.098+11:00Queensland 1d. stamp duty - varieties and plate flaws<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In his book, "Queensland Postage Stamps 1879 to 1912", K</span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="line-height: 36px;">en Scudder lists a number of constant flaws, with their positions on the sheet, as follows:</span><br />

Specimen handstamps<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">Here are some examples of the 1d. specimen handstamps. For general information on the specimen and cancelled handstamps see </span></span><a href="http://queensland1sideface.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/specimen-handstamps.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-decoration: none;">here</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to specimen examples, this issue is more complex than the other denominations in this series. It is the only one that has specimen handstamps on imperforate issues and there also exist manuscript </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">specimen cancellations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Kenneth Scudder in his book "Queensland Postage Stamps 1879 to 1912", lists a number of specimen handstamps found on this issue. They are:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 1. Capitals sans-serif, 21 mm x 2.5 mm. Known in black and violet, diagonally up from left to right. Scudder notes that the these examples would have been handstamped after November 1880. Reddish brown shades. Seen on perforated issues only</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 2. Roman capitals, 23.5 mm x 3.25 mm. Known in black and Red (one example in Scudder's book), diagonally up from left to right. It was introduced in mid to late 1880. Vermilion / Scarlet shades. Seen on perforated issues only</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 3. Capitals sans-serif, 15 mm x 2 mm. Known from one example in red on an imperforate stamp with a vermilion / scarlet shade. It is thought to have been introduced around 1880</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Manuscript cancellations known in black and violet, diagonally up from left to right on perforated issues. Scudder notes that an inverted violet example is also known but this has not been seen by me. According to Scudder these manuscript cancellations are on the the 1st watermark issues. A manuscript cancellation with the word S is also known on an imperforate proof</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 3 is the most rare, with only one copy known. I have only seen one example of Type 2 in red. Type 2 is less common that type 1 in black. No multiples have been seen for type 2</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Kenneth Scudder in his book "Queensland Postage Stamps 1879 to 1912", lists a number of specimen handstamps found on this issue. They are:</span></span><br />
<ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">

Known in black, diagonally up from left to right. Scudder notes that the these examples would have been handstamped after November 1880</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Type 2. Roman capitals, 23.5 mm x 3.25 mm.

</ul>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These handstamps are mostly seen bright blue examples. Type 2 is less common</span><br />
