Rare Non Issued 1937 3 1/2 D KGV1 Stamp

I've come across rare stamp non issued re engraved by John Ash from 3d to 3 1/2 d kvg1 stamp
cant find one in existence
supposedly he burnt them all and melted the
printer and never issued the stamp

I've got a 80 stamp sheet full
maybe only one in the world
rarest of rare stamp
worth millions I'm sure
can you input on this

You should post a scan/picture on the Australia forum.

Are you a collector?

Interesting first post and a big welcome to SCF.

Some scans would be helpfull

Hi kevjon189

I believe you are pulling our leg, if such a stamp existed I would know about it. I actually have an extremely rare block of 4, 1949 ½d Wallaroo stamps with a very early state of plate crack under the W.C.G. McCracken imprint (printed from the 1938 John Ash plate).

There is only one in existence.


I also have unissued Australian proofs, from the reign of Queen Victoria and George V, both in black.





The 3½d over 3d (and 2½d over 2d) were issued in sheets of 120, not 80, only the 5½d over 5d were issued in sheets of 80.

Also, you say you have a rare stamp, yet you mention you have a sheet of 80.

Aren't you a little late (or should I say a little early) for April fools.

Lol I was waiting to hear "The dog ate his camera" so no pics .

Hi Aussie Al


It's still early times yet.

Looks like the image slowed them down on comments.




The poster already knows everything about this stamp sheet so why ask?

I think you are all being a little unkind to the original poster - after all he is describing a sheet of "kvg1" which I will bet none of you have ever seen.
Now anyone who knows his Australian issues would realise that these were from the trials conducted out beyond the black stump (hence the melted printer - poor guy!).

Point taken but....

Jumping into the bull pit and start leading with a multi million dollar left hook is not a great look.

They have a great chance to sort it out though.

I didn't notice the King he was referring to was KG1, he reigned from 1714-1727.

And I thought the penny black of 1840 was the first issue in the world, silly me.

kevjon189 was pulling our leg.

"melted the printer"... allrightythen.

And I forgot about John Ash the 1st printed stamps back then as well.

Pretty sure the original poster is not referring to KG1. The title of the thread shows 1937 KGV1 so unless there was a King George Vincent, Im pretty sure the V1= KG VI.

I do not believe that the printer was UL listed.

Probably just a kid posting for fun. Don't we all dare to dream about finding such things, even as adults.

Sorry late response to all
Thanks for the input
Yes I'm rusty
Only just picked up where I left of 25 years ago
So I read and article John ash burnt and melted
His printer I'll find it and post it
Here is a pic of my 3 1/d over print
80 per sheet
Some one said they printed them 120 per sheet
So does he know bout this topic
Ummm. Or has any one read about this
