Lot 289 North Borneo (C) SG#66, 78 1c - 18c Black & Olive Bistre - Black & Deep Green Pictorial, 1894 Waterlow Pictorial Issue, 2 Very Good/Very Fine Used Singles, Full Grid Cancel Used As A Postal Cancel Rather Than As A Remainder Cancel

2 very good/very fine used singles of the 1c - 18c black & olive bistre - black & deep green Pictorial from the 1894 Waterlow Pictorial Issue, full grid cancel used as a postal cancel rather than as a remainder cancel.

Gibbons notes that this was used to cancel stamps postally, the main difference being that most of the cancel is visible, rather than being confined to the corners. The 1c has a hinge thin.

Gibbons values these at £58, so we estimate them at $52. The stamps offered here grade 60 and 80 as follows:
