Note::This error is reported to have been purchased in Toowoomba, Qld. It affects the fifth vertical column of a right pane, the perforating comb having skipped one beat. A strip of eight stamps (Nos. 3/5 to 10/5) was divided into four vertical pairs. The top vertical pair from the error sheet had apparently been used and does not appear to have survived.
