    Scott # C14a Block of 4
    Inverted Surcharge

    Scott# C14b Block of 4
    Without the surcharge in a block of four, Error in position
    28, Scott has only listed similar previously as C14a (same
    as invert) "pair", one without surcharge", so unique item
    as a block of four: George MacLellan and John head
    examined the item and determined it's genuineness with a
    certificate being issued by John Head.

    Scott# 190a Positions 5-10, 17-20, and 27-30
    (presented in order); this variety, found on the far right of
    the strip, was caused by a shift of the surcharge, so that
    the two horizontal bars are found on the stamp to the left.
    Three copies of six recorded are presented here.

    Scott# 192 Normal Example
    and
    Scott # 192a Widespread Bars
    Upper Bar is thick in Positions 1-5; thin Widespread Bars
    for the balance of the sheet.


    Scott #'s 122c and 123a, Missing Overprints, MacLellan
    opinionated that five copies of 122c and eight copies of
    123a are recorded from the original sheets of 20. Other
    specialist believe there may be more copies from the
    original sheet of 20. EX. Schoberlin
