Description
Stamp Duty: 1885-95 Local provisional surcharges, short set of 26 to 1r, each fine used, missing only the elusive 25c and 50c on 1r lilac, otherwise complete, a remarkably difficult set to assemble including both watermarks of the 25 cents on 20r green and 25c on 50r pale brown, the difficult 25c on 1c lake-brown, and the scarce 1889 '25' on 50c lilac.
