Faceoff - Pair 4

Here is the latest pair - actually a pair of pairs - for your consideration. Please respond with the Scott number of your favorite issue!

1421-1422


1732-1733

1421-22 for a number of reasons. The Cook pair look most odd and to have a half Tete-Beche, half Se-Tenant pair shows complete lack of thought.
Also, there is a Flag in the first pair !! {and I have only just realised this which accounts for it not being in my collection yet !]

Londonbus1....What shall we call the Cook pair?**

** If se-tenant is side-by-side and Tete-Beche is upside down in relation to the other, then what shall we call half and half ???
Is there a term?

There sure is London! It's called a . . . . .

Now are you ready for this?

It's a Tete-Tenant!

1421-1422

1421-1422 no question

1421-1422

I am going with Captain Cook #1732-1733. I like the font used and the line work for the ship.

#1421 - #1422
As children at school we were taught that Cook discovered Australia,this statement wasn't true as history records that the Dutch had discovered Australia 100 or so years before,just an early for of brain washing by a government I suppose .

1421-1422

My pick is 1732-1733, I now there is a great deal of sentimentality, 1421-1422, I just think the design and workmanship is more interesting in the Cook pair.

1421-22.....

I have to go with 1732-1733

like the looks of the Cooks! 1732-33 for me.

Surely the Aboriginies knew about it even before the Dutch did, yes?


I'd take the Cook pair, despite the fact that there are two formats; gotta love that old-style engraving work.

1732-3 for me

Like wise Cook didn't discover Hawaii did he but didn't history say he did and yes the koori people were here 60,000 years before the Dutch.
congratulations on your pillardom Glenn
