South Africa 1942

Can I get some feedback on this pair?

I'm cataloguing, and came across this stamp pair. Here's what is interesting - In Scott #91c I read "imperf. between"

The description in Scott of the perforation(s) for this stamp pair reads, "Pairs: Perf. 14, Roul. 6 1/2 btwn."

Between the 2 stamps there is barely, barely something resembling a perforation, but it's not really a perforation like holes, more like a few hashes that do not go all the way through the paper, so I'm not sure, is this perforated (value ~1.50) or imperforate (value ~725)?

These stamps are referred to as "Bantams"
they are line rouletted between.

Collectors collect in bilingual pairs as yours are.

Hi mfchiro,

If you look at the Scott heading a little further you'll see it also refers to strips of three as well as pairs. These two are the left and middle stamps of a strip of three.

Here's a bigger block of the halfpenny value showing the strips of three. The inscriptions on the strips are alternately English-Afrikaans-English and Afrikaans-English-Afrikaans in the sheet.

Whoa, love the labels and the selvage, Nigel!!

yup, yup, yup, all questions expertly answered. appreciate the feedback, thanks y'all

Nice pane Nigel

I also noticed an 'ink-smear' over the 4th top stamp there as well - neat.
