BWISC Bulletin No 7 - October 1955


ST. VINCENT

½d on half 6d.without hyphen

"The other day I had occasion to refer to the Auction Catalogue (Robson Lowe - 27th October 1954) of Mr. Sinton's St. Vincent collection wherein it states on p.2. that only 36 ½d on half 6d.without hyphen existed. This is an error due either to a misprint or being an old note which has not been brought up-to-date. There were said to have been printed 1,440 stamps; 60 to a sheet of 24 sheets so if it appeared once only there would be 24 or if two to a sheet -- 46. I think the real number was rather more, some 50 to 60 in all as my earlier notes implied. I have three mint copies."
