  (RCSD) SWEDEN 1872         


Author: David Hicks

Hi Folk

I have bought a large box full of allsorts, at a recent auction ( I only
bought it for the Gold Coast section ) but I am now examining what I have
to see if I can get some money back on the remainder

Amongst my " finds" are a few old club books In one of these is a page of
Sweden
The page is headed " ALL 1872 Perf 13 " It contains 2 @ 3 ore
(brown ), 2 @ 4 ore (grey ), 2 @ 6 ore ( mauve - one dark, one light )
and one @ 50 ore (light red )

My question is are the Perf 13 a different variety to those in the SG World
cat ? Only the prices appear to bear no resemblance to the cat value, i.e
the seller is asking £1.25 for the 4 ore ( World cv 85p), and he ( or she )
is asking £1.50 for the 6 ore ( World cv £34 )

So is Perf 13 different to the World Cat, is the pricing in error, or is
this discrepancy bought about by Cat price fluctuations

many thanks

David

  (RCSD) Soliloquy of a Postage Stamp.

World P.E.A.S. has this Ernest W Brady piece, written in 1978.

Another philatelic error, as I collect Stamp Albums, and it appears
on the cover of an Album at least employed in 1968.

Would someone be able to read the Russian auxilliary marking
please, just above the grey partridge.

Also, perhaps the postcard topic, bottom LHS.

Thanks.

SG doesn't give them numbers or CVs, but says they were issued by
machine in values 45c to $100 from 17-Nov-1994. The 2002 cat says the
machines were at:-
