GREAT BRITAIN 1961 (VARIETY) 3D POSB PAIR MISSING ORANGE-BROWN, TIMSON
3d Post Office Savings Bank Centenary pair, Timson printing, missing orange-brown from the top stamp. Superb progressive piece. Fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. SG624Aa; SC380a; STC17b; GBR1248a
Note: the print run of these stamps was split between two machines, Timson and Thrissell, which resulted in subtle shade varieties. The Timson printings have sharp portraits with deep shadows and bright highlights compared to the contrast-lacking portraits of Thrissell printings
