Dear All,
I'm looking for a good visual reference of the ivory head referred to in Birch. He writes (P.36), "Several specimens have been found showing a perfect 'Ivory head' design on the reverse side of the stamp. Quite comparable with same variety in 1840-41 issues".
If anybody has one, please be very kind and post it here.
Thanks a million, Robin

Disappointing response (nil) despite being posted in QV as well.
Since posting the original query, I found the attached. It had been sent to me about 25 years ago. Unfortunately it is too low resolution to be used, and I have no notes for it. I hope it is of sufficient interest for somebody to comment on.

Apologies. The original was "not a supported image", but I have now managed to convert it to jpeg. Robin
