NSW One Penny Stamp Question.

Any informations please

What is it that you would like to know about this stamp? Have you tried to identify it? Is it a question about the design, color or perforations? What kind of information are you looking to get?

I tried to identify but I couldnt, I searched stampworld but there is nothing like it. Thank you

This could be a number of issues, depending on the watermark which I can't make out from your image of the back.

First of all, unless it is cut from postal stationery, it should have perforations. I think I can see some perf remnants on the left side, close to the lower left corner.

I think the colour can cut down the options to:

1. SG 196 dark red brown, 197 brownish red and 198 brick red. Perf 13, wmk would be a single line "1" about half the height of the stamp.

2. SG 200 - brick red and 201 brownish red, perf 13, no wmk.

Give the loss of practically all its perforation, its value is probably minimal.

This one is a newspaper wrapper cutout.

Hope this helps!

waelshami,
What do you see when you hold the stamp up to strong backlighting?
Is there a watermark visible?

No watermarks, fairdinkustamps

My one penny DLR newspaper wrappings have a striated pattern when held to the light.

The poor quality of the impression and the lack of any evidence of perforations at the widest margin points were my guides.

The DLR stamps (except the 6d) are generally notorious for very narrow margins.

Thank you all, but sorry what is the "DLR" stamp?

De La Rue. They made the die for the 1d stamp you've asked about.

waelshami, are you able to upload a photo with bright light shining through from the back of the stamp?

Sorry for being late

Thanks waelshami, the striated pattern I mentioned above is clearly visible - the parallel vertical lines running the length of the paper.

That fits with my newspaper wrapper cutouts - as suggested by Bobby de La Rue.

There was some discussion, about this time last year, on an item similar to this.

Newspaper wrapper.
