    1854: 1d. red-brown, Die I, Alphabet II, part perf. 16 at base only, imperforate on the other three sides with large regular margins, cancelled by large part Hull '383' Spoon. Very rare and unusual perforation error - to date only 8 similar examples and four pairs are recorded in the Karl Louis Card Index Register, most of which are badly damaged or torn in on the imperforate sides. This is the first recorded copy used in Hull. For similar partially perforated varieties see Lady Mairi Bury (2010, lot 1039) and Chartwell (2011, lot 1307). Rare.
