Uganda 1895 (March) Wide Letters in Black, Wide Stamps The first issue was produced by the Rev. Ernest Millar, C.M.S., using his Barlock typewriter with a black ribbon. He typed nine rows across each sheet of foolscap sized sermon paper. With thirteen vertical rows, 117 stamps were obtained in each sheet. The stamps varied in width from 20mm. to 26mm. The quality of the paper often resulted in the stamps being creased before use. 10(c.) unused with large border at foot, tiny part border at upper right, a very fine example of this stamp, slight horizontal bend at top. Rare. S.G. 2, £4000. Photo Estimate £ 1,500-1,800
