thanksforlooking@danmagpie'sstamps A VERY PRETTY 1st WATERMARK 9d VIOLET KANGAROO: “CANCELLED-TO-ORDER" (NO GUM) - ACSC 24wb CANCELLED FOR THE MELBOURNE PRESENTATION PACKS 3 DECEMBER 1913 - 2021 ACSC CV $120  - GORGEOUS COLOUR The 1st Watermark 9d Violet was printed by J.B. COOKE  and issued from stock to Post Offices from 29 January 1913. It is believed they were placed on sale 1 February 1913. These marsupials were printed from two Plates (an UPPER Plate - Plate 1 and a LOWER Plate - Plate 2), each with 120-stamps-on in two Panes of 60 with each Pane in 10 Rows of six Stamps. The 9d was first used as the intrastate telegram rate; and as ‘make-up’ use for parcel rates. There were two printings on 1st Watermark paper in January 1913 and May 1914 totalling 17,160,000 stamps of which 65,520 were spoilt, leaving 17,094,480 on issue. THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH SPECIALISTS’ CATALOGUE “KANGAROOS” (ACSC 2021) STATES : The Post Office introduced 'Specimen Sets' for sale to collectors in December 1913. The sets, comprising all values from ½d to £2, were sold for 10/-.  The ½d to 5/- were cancelled-to-order, and the higher values were handstamped or overprinted 'Specimen'. These sets were compiled in Melbourne, and the CTO datestamp was that inscribed MELBOURNE at the top, blank at base, dated DE 3 13. The cancel was applied to horizontal pairs of stamps, so each stamp had a half-cancel. 5,000 stamps of each denomination were prepared. Two different datestamps were used; in one the '3' of the day has a round top, and in the other the '3' has a flat top. The latter in only known on the ½d to 4d and 5/- values. As you can see, this 1st Watermark 9d Violet carries brilliant DEEP colour. A lovely marsupial for that CTO Collection (sadly no gum) but deep shade is stunning. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
