Description
Booklets. 1935 (May) 2r70 Silver Jubilee booklet, black on light green cover, containing 30 x 9c green and indigo in panes of 6 (3x2), the first pane exceptionally showing the constant variety 'Diagonal line by turret' (Vignette plate '2A', R10/1-2) on the first and second stamps in the lower row. Really fine condition for this rare booklet (first two panes with faintly toned gum) and the first we have seen including the varieties (= SG 380f). The May printing was of 1000 booklets only, with a very low survival rate. SG SB12, £1800 without the varieties
