Lot: 270

(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.
2d. yellow, error mixed perforations comb perf 12.4 x 11, fine used. The only recorded example. Unlisted by Brusden White in this variant. RPSV Certificate (2014). S.G. 136. Photo

Note: This stamp is perforated 12.4 on all four sides with additional horizontal perforations gauging 11 at foot, thereby creating the mixed perforations error. Brusden White list W21 in the catalogue, a mixed perforations error measuring comb perf 12.3 x 12.2 and 11, with the listing of the Bromfield example in the Western Australia Museum in Perth as the only recorded example.
