Newfoundland 1862-64 4d rose-lake, complete sheet of 20 (5x4), with "(ST)ACEY WISE/1858" large part papermaker's watermark covering six stamps in the two left hand columns, SG18.
A brilliant quality mint complete sheet with original gum ( all stamps are unmounted mint, except R2/1 with small adhesion). Unobtrusive vertical folds in side margins and between second and third columns, as usually seen with such sheets. A lovely item, with exceptional colour and impression.
Very scarce with watermark, which appears on only 2% of stamps from this issue according to Col. Robert H. Pratt, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the pre-eminent Newfoundland stamp and postal history collector, researcher, and author..
The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £1,000++.
