From time to time I receive from members, who are aware of my interest in the stamps of Jamaica, items which they are not sure about and asking my opinion as to their classification and genuineness. In most instances, I am glad to say, I am able to furnish a satisfactory reply but there is one case, which often crops up, which I find I am unable to deal with. It is the George VI, 1½d. light red brown (S.G.123a) catalogued at 90/- mint and 20/- used. In my collection I have numerous shades of this stamp, all of which I obtained from the colony but not always at the time of issue. So far I have been able to establish that this stamp was issued with the following Plate numbers: 1, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D and 5C. I have blocks and strips of all these except 1A, 1B and 5C. In the Commonwealth Catalogue this stamp is listed as 5b and in a footnote it is stated that it was on sale only in the colony for a short time about the middle of 1944. I shall be very glad indeed if any member can confirm this date and also indicate the Plate number of this particular printing. All being well, I hope to be present at our meeting on the 26th October and will bring along my collection of this stamp and it will be most helpful if any other members who are attending and have examples will bring them with them for comparison.
