Some Perforation Varieties On Tasmanian Pictorial Stamps

I like this series and put these pages together a couple of years ago from an auction lot I purchased.

Stanley Gibbons prices the compound perforations but not the double perf in the same gauge.

Very nice presentation.

The Tasmanian Pictorial issues do not receive as much attention as they deserve from collectors. The book by Lancaster is very useful but does contain a few plating errors.

There are new plating guides for some of the plates and values available from the Tasmanian Philatelic Society website. These are FREE.

From my involvement in these guides I have picked up a number of perforation varieties as shown below.

An example of mixed single line perforations...

Unlisted by Stanley Gibbons, the mixed gauges are a vertical line of perforations, involving an additional line perf. 11 on stamps otherwise perf 12.4 all round.

Described as "rare" by Brusden White, and listed as T51 3d deep brown Mixed single line perf. 12.4 and 11.
