Perforation question
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2024 12:02 am
Greetings all:
I recently got hooked on control/cylinder blocks and was able to acquire a number in a local auction. My problem is that the Four Kings SG catalogue states that for the 1½d red-brown stamp, Controls and Cylinder Numbers (Blocks of Six) are Perforation Type 5 (E/I) on both dot and no dot cylinders. Accordingly, they should have one extension hole in the left margin of each row and be imperf. on the bottom margin. Well, I have 3 blocks: 2 x A36/13 dot and one A36/13 no dot and they are all Type 6B(E/P) -- one extension hole in the left margin of each row and bottom margin perf. through. Given that these stamps were issued in 1936 and the SG catalogue I have is the 14th edition from 2015, one would think that if these existed they would have been noted. Am I missing something or am I wrong?
Thanks
Stephen
