1881 Bulk beer 1/3d. to 13/6d. set of six, fresh and very fine unused with rich original colours, each value (as always) with at least one straight edge from the imperforate sheet edge. Beautifully designed using the Bourne Head portrait (more commonly seen on Falkland Islands and Transvaal issues) with the inner frame adorned with hops, this set surely rank amongst the most visually appealing revenue stamps ever issued. Spectacular and very rare. Ellsmore $2,300 (£1,400) Photo
