A very good mint NH single of the 50c light green Textile Industry stamp from the 1953 Karsh Issue on the rare High Fluorescent paper. Actually, this paper gives a dull greyish white reaction under UV, but appears highly fluorescent from the low density concentration of low fluorescent fibres embedded in the paper. The paper is horizontal wove with a smooth surface, showing horizontal mesh only when held up to a strong light. Smooth yellowish cream coloured gum. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH single at $200. The stamp offered here grades 55 as follows:

Centering/margins: 40/70

Paper freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10

Adjustment for light creasing: -15 points
