I have a spare copy but post would be a killer to UK . Indeed Al, I constantly suffer postal impost from Nth America. In defence of Specialist Catalogues, Identify an occasional rarity, and the cost of the catalogue is assuaged. (lots of ifs and buts there) |

The 1½ die 2 brown was printed in plates 1 & 2 Was it not Plates 1 (upper panes) and 3 (lower panes) that were used for this value with crown/CofA watermark? Please excuse me if I am wrong as my ACSC page is dated 1994. |

If my memory serves me correctly I think if you check you will find that Plate 3 was an upper plate and Plate 1 was a lower. This set of plates did not follow the norm when philatelists numbered the plates.

Here is the info from my admittedly old (1994) ACSC page. It shows Plate 1 as upper and Plate 3 as lower for the Small Multiple watermark issue. For the Crown/CofA issue, it refers back to the Small Multiple entry for plating. Is this then actually incorrect?  Another Frank. |

Thanks, Frank. II guess that's that mystery put to bed.
By the way, are you a native of Kirkaldy in the Kingdom of Fife?

The name should say it all, but yes and it is Kirkcaldy with a c pronounced as kirk allday(sassenach speak) or kirk aweday(real Fife speak).

And Fife speak is how I would pronounce it. I lived just across the water in Musselburgh (The Honest Toun) in what was then Midlothian. It's now in East Lothian. As you say, things have changed in the last 20 years. (I came to Canada in 1963.) I have a niece who lives in the Lang Toun.
