    1861, 'Cancelled' Stamps for Rowland Hill’s Nephew Ormond Hill.rnOn 18 April 1861 Ormond Hill, the nephew of Rowland Hill, wrote to Joshua Butters Bacon the head of Perkins Bacon and Co.:rn“My dear Sir, Two or three of my friends who are collectors of Postage Stamps have asked me to procure for them specimens of new or uncommon stamps whenever I have it in my power. It occurs to me that perhaps you may be able to give me a few ...”rnHe added on 24 April:rn“... I should be glad to have six stamps of each kind ...”rnOn 15 August J. Upham (for J.B. Bacon) sent the stamps to Pearson Hill with the following letter:rn“Dear Sir, I beg now to send you as promised ... an envelope addressed to Ormond Hill Esq. containing 6 obliterated impressions of each of the stamps named in the list and request you will take two of each for Rowland Hill Esq. and yourself and then seal the package and forward it together with a letter which you will also find addressed to him, to Mr. Ormond Hill.”rnIt turned out that the supply of the Crown Agents‘ property was given without authority.rnOrmond Hill was not asked to return the "specimens“, and in fact, all were treated as private property. Nevertheless, the case destroyed Perkins Bacon as future printers for the Crown Agents.rnFrom Peter Jaffe in "Cancelled by Perkins Bacon“, published for Spink & Son Ltd by James Bendon Ltd. (1998).rn1855: 2 d. rose-carmine, wmk. Large Star, imperforate, struck with part "CANCELLED" obliterator in black; large margins all round, position 1 from the block of six (2 x 3) sent to Ormond Hill from which just five examples are recorded by Peter Jaffe, one of which (position 4) is housed in the collection of His Majesty King Charles III.

    Recess by Perkins Bacon 1855: Prepared for use but Unissued - Perkins Bacon 1 s. violet, wmk. Large Star, imperforate, an unused example with ample to large margins all round, minor corner bend at lower right corner not detracting from the appearance. Considered too close in colour to the issued 6 d. value, all the few examples of this stamp (incl. the six Ormond Hill "Cancelled" examples) are originally from a block of 24 left over and found after the balance of these stamps were destroyed on 5 June 1857 in the presence of the Assistant Treasurer and Auditor General. From the eighteen stamps, four are in institutional collections and Michael Blake and Tony Presgrave located the whereabouts of 15 examples, leaving eleven in private hands. What must also be pointed out is that none of these 24 stamps ever actually reached South Australia. An exceptionally rare stamp and a British Commonwealth and Australasian rarity. Cert. RPSV (2014) Gi = £ 25'000.rnrnProvenance: Collection Louise Boyd Dale & Alfred F.
