The correct charge should have been a double deficiency of 3d, and this is clearly a case of the shilling values being accidentally used instead of the pence values. The only such instance of which we are aware, and a clear demonstration of the need to differentiate the shilling values by the addition of a stroke, which did not happen until 1908-9. Very fine apart from the usual repaired spike hole, and the only recorded example of the 2/- postage due on cover (BW cat AU$1500) |

One stamp defective and a few with small stains nevertheless an extraordinary and unique usage. A number of other (smaller) blocks used in Townsville in 1925-26 are known, and indicate the retention of stocks of this high value for over 20 years. For those who might wish the use of the 10/- or 20/- stamps instead of the 5/-, those two higher values were never sent to Queensland. A major rarity of the monocolour postage dues |
