Channel Islands Guernsey — 4d. Guernsey Lily booklet panes (2), one with emerald (stem) omitted, the other with misplaced 5mm. to right, fine. With normal for comparison. Pierron GU36MCb, £750; S.G. 18ac, £500. Photo Estimate £ 250-300 Note: The missing emerald causes the flower stem to appear in the yellow underlay colour. The error is known to have come from 4s booklets with white covers and text in black depicting an officer from St Martin´s Company (containing 6 x 4d, 4 x 5d and 4 x 1d). However, it´s possible the error also came from any or all of five other similar booklets (differing in composition, text colour, or cover image)
