GB QV PROOF Stamp TENDER ESSAYS 1d Black Imperforate Pair (1879) Perkins Bacon RED2.
A BEAUTIFUL ITEM of EXHIBITION QUALITY. NOTE that this is a *PROOF* for the better known 1879 One Penny TENDER ESSAYS that were produced with SE-TENANT DESIGNS & LETTERS "W" IN ALL FOUR CORNERS by Perkins Bacon. This PROOF pair has both values of ONE PENNY & NO LETTERS in the four corners. IMPORTANT EXHIBITION ITEM. Not to be confused with later 20th Century reprints on bright white paper. Very Fine for an item of this type & period. Please look at all the scans to help form your own opinion. BEAUTIFUL.
