Auction: 9037 - The "Pierron" Collection of British Commonwealth Missing Colours
Lot: 1157

Canada 1981-86 National Parks Issue $1.50 Waterton Lakes with black (recess) omitted, marginal, fine. With normal for comparison. Pierron CA1770MCa, £1,750; Sc.935a; unlisted in S.G. Photo Estimate £ 1,000-1,200 Note: The missing black results in the loss of the recess-printed inscription, country name and value. The error came from two panes - one yielding 15 examples and the other 10. In both cases the error was due to a dry print with examples partially missing black at the right of the pane and examples completely missing black at the left. One of the panes originated from Oshawa in Ontario. provenance: Sir Gawaine Baillie, May 2006
