68 fine used singles of the 1c-2c reddish violet, pale reddish violet, milky violet, deep violet, deep rose lilac Numeral from the 1935-1967 Fourth Postage Due Issue showing the full range of shades & paper types on which these stamps were printed, including red violet shades & the scarce cbn-vvvvvvv toned paper on the 1c. A massive assortment of all-different stamps, which have been carefully gone through to ensure that they are all different in some way, and all VF centered and fault free. As stated in my videos, pencil cancels, pen cancels and no cancels do not detract from these, as that is how 75% of used postage due stamps are. There is no way that I have time to identify every stamp usng my paper table that I have developed, which I am sure is not complete, but if you look at my description for lots 367 and lot 368 you can see how the information in the paper table can be meticoulously applied to identify the individual stamps.
