Scott #108 1d

'Universal Postage'

Re-entry

Here is a nice little re-entry in PENNY.

and another...in ONE PENNY.

New Zealand

Scott #151 1916-1926

Foreign Entry

2 1/2d on 4d

Plate 20 Row 4 Number 10

This is another denominational error, similar to the U.S. 5¢ on 2¢ seen elsewhere. Here the remnants of the '2' and the slash (/) of the 1/2 can be seen in the UL numeral box. I find these errors delightful!

My first copy of this stamp was a gift to me from the late Bill Percy.

These can also be found on the yellow printings, although they are much more difficult to see.

*March 16, 2006 - I just acquired a beautiful block of 4 of the yellow colour with the foreign transfer on the upper right stamp. Scroll down to see the block and a close-up of the UL corner of the UR stamp.

Also note the odd perforations on the bottom pair of the block.

Foreign Entry

4 1/2d on 4d

Plate 20 Row 1 Number 6

This is another denominational error, similar to the U.S. 5¢ on 2¢ seen elsewhere. Here the remnants of the '4 1/2' can be seen in the UR numeral box. There are also marks in the crown and in the top margin. I find these errors delightful!

These can also be found on the yellow printings, although they are much more difficult to see.

This is another denominational error, similar to the U.S. 5¢ on 2¢ seen elsewhere. Here remnants can be seen in the UR numeral box. This is very similar to the two stamps shown above, but the plate position of this one is not known. The website from which I got the other plate positions does not list this one.

These can also be found on the yellow printings, although they are much more difficult to see.

One and One Half Penny

The Major Re-entry

Plate 197690 R2/12

This is a stamp I knew existed, but until now, had never seen it. This is one of New Zealand's finest re-entries, with the entire design completely and strongly doubled in a clockwise twist of the transfer roll. This is easily seen in the upper corner frames, the value tablet, NEW ZEALAND, both men and both horses, and the entire background behind them.

This scan was sent in by a new correspondent, Bob Turkowski.

Aug. 2009 - I have finally been able to acquire a copy of this lovely re-entry, and have added some larger scans below Bob's.
