Mexico
1899-1903 "Aguilitas"
1903 "Aguilitas" Group of six trial color proofs: 1c. Violet, 2c. Green, 5c. Orange, 10c. Blue and orange (two examples) and 50c. Carmine and Black, resembling the issued colors, featuring sharp impressions and vibrant colors. There are vey few examples known in the actual issued colors, so this group is very scarce. Like other security printers, Bradbury Wilkinson prepared small albums with samples of their work; however, these differed from their competitors as the impressions were taken directly from the die, printed on stout paper, and perforated "Specimen" in a straight line at lower right. Scott 304 var- 309var
