 The extra flagstaff
|
Is the best known of the Silver Jubilee varieties. Appears in Plate 1, Row/Column 9/1.
Is a 3½ mm vertical line just to the left of the Winchester Tower. Occurs in 13 of 15 colony printings by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Believed to be due to ink debris. It is thought to have first occurred during printing of Hong Kong 5c stamp. Some stamps from second printings had the flagstaff removed from the printed sheet by scratching it out with a pointed instrument (see extra flagstaff removed).
Note: The extra flagstaff has been described in the Jamaica booklet.
