George VI Era Cochin - Mostly Used

I'm afraid you only have a block of SG O64 there. Still, they're not at all common in blocks!

Tony,
I want to thank you for your long running thread on another board " Banging the Drum for the Uglies", started reading that last week, and am up to page 69 right now, but really wanted you to know that when I took a break from reading, I browsed ebay Indian States. Thanks, mate! Love that thread!

Littleriverphil, I'm astonished you've had the perseverance to make it to page 69 of that thread! I never thought it would grow into the monster it's become ... But the Uglies really do have their own charms, once you lower your guard.

If you have a good perf gauge, for instance, there are the various machines gauging around 13 to 14 that Perkins, Bacon was using for the Cochin Second Rajas (see above) and the long Indore set of 1927-37



And once you get your teeth into that set, try finding the deliberate imperfs the Indore authorities ordered, used:



Or of course there are the really, truly Ugly
