 10c Tete-Beche Proof Pair

1898 Effets 

with u-shaped ornament

 

Barefoot notes that "[p]roof pairs are known of the 10c and 20c tete-beche; it is not known if the issued stamps contained any tete-beches."

1889 Effets de Commerce - Two types of cone ornaments

 

1889 Effets de Commerce

Two types of the Cone issue ornaments 

 

Left side - Type A

Cones are separated from the center cross

Right side - Type B

Cones touch or nearly touch the center cross

 

Since the 1889 Cone issue (Barefoot 50 to 55) is fairly common, it's not too difficult to acquire examples of both types.  Barefoot notes the two types, but does not give them separate numbers.  My Type B is often found printed in a darker blue.

 

1889 Effets de Commerce Variety

 

1889 Cone Ornaments

5c value Rouletted

The 1889 Cone ornaments issue (Barefoot 50-55) is fairly common and is found imperforate. Here, however, is the 5c denomination neatly rouletted. Perhaps done privately? 

Has anyone else seen examples of this issue rouletted?
