Auction: 20039 - The Gary Diffen Collection of Australian Colonies Errors Part 2 - Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia
Lot: 268

(x) Western Australia
1902-11 Watermark V over Crown
Mixed Perfs
The Stanley Gibbons catalogue up until the mid 1980s used to separate the listings of compound perforations and mixed perforation errors. Probably to not confuse collectors, these two variants were combined into one listing. However, the mixed perforation errors are much rarer, and these variants are listed separately in Brusden White.
1d. carmine-rose, error mixed perforations comb perf 12.4 x 12.2 and single line perf 11, fine used. The only example recorded in private hands. RPSV Certificate (2017). Brusden White W10, unpriced; S.G. 135. Photo

Note: This stamp is perforated 12.4 x 12.2 with additional horizontal perforations gauging 11 at foot, thereby creating the mixed perforations error. The Brusden White catalogue at page 331 states "The only example of a mixed perforation which can be traced is a used stamp in the Bromfield collection in the W.A. museum at Perth".
