I think they are all stunners. I agree, they're all nice, but that T&T stamp is dynamite! (I think it might be the red overprint...?) Thanks for sharing. |

Reading up about the SPECIMEN overprints. Marcus Samuel in The London Philatelist (Vol. 84, 1975 pp.3-14): Quote:
A few final words on UPU specimens. Locally surcharged provisionals were supplied for distribution with local specimen overprints, or without any overprints, or they were often not supplied at all. There is a first class St Vincent 'Spicemen' error included in the overprint setting of thirty used for the 1892 '5 PENCE' on 4d lake-brown. Has anyone seen this SPICEMEN error? |

That would be SG 59sa, and I haven't seen it. 750 pounds in my SG.
In a quick check, I see its been in a couple Spink auctions, but I didn't have any luck finding a scan. |

I have found reference to an example sold at Spink's British Empire Sale on 14 October 1997. Quote:
St. Vincent 1892 5d. on 4d. handstamped 'Spicemen' (sic) in purple (£180) Does anyone have the Spink auction catalogue for a picture? |

...or maybe the sale for The Peter Jaffé Exhibition Collection, held by Spink on Thursday, March 2, 2006? Looks like that sale might have had one. |
