Lot	Symbol	CatNo.	Lot Description	CV or Estimate
1685		S.G. #18a	S.G. #18a, 1897 "2c" on half of 5c Blue and "3c" on half of 5c Blue, red manuscript surcharge, an enormously rare unsevered pair of the 5c stamp bearing both surcharges, the typical production method of these Kuala Lipis provisional bisects was to first bisect the stamps and then to surcharge them, however in this exception to the rule, the top left and bottom right corners were first initialed, and then the surcharge numerals added (apparently by different clerks as the inks slightly differ), with the "2c" surcharge being "inverted", and the pair was then never separated; unused, diagonal crease, still of extremely fine appearance; one of only two recorded unused unsevered examples in existence, making this one of the most important items in Malaysian philately; signed H. Bloch; ex-Asch (Scott #21, 22; unlisted). (Image)	£8,000 Closed or SOLD for $4,250.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1686		S.G. #18d	S.G. #18d, 1897 "3c" on diagonal half of 5c Blue, red manuscript surcharge, an exceptionally choice mint example which is a wonderful "mate" in quality to the "2c" surcharge offered in the previous lot, bright color, well centered, o.g., relatively lightly hinged, very fine and quite scarce, particularly in this quality; signed H. Bloch and accompanied by a 1977 PF certificate (Scott #22; $850.00). (Image)	£1,000 Closed or SOLD for $1,900.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1687		S.G. #24	S.G. #24, 1898 $5.00 Green and ultramarine, well centered, o.g., couple of h.r.'s, very fine (Scott #20; $525.00). (Image)	£750 Closed or SOLD for $625.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1688		S.G. #25b	S.G. #25b, 1898 "Pahang Four cents" surcharge on 8c Dull purple and ultramarine, double surcharge, an exceptionally well centered example of this scarce error, which occurred from the attempt to improve upon a very light initial first impression, part o.g. (most existing examples have no gum or have tissue interleaving adhering), extremely fine; signed Thier (Scott #25 var.). (Image)	£650 Closed or SOLD for $500.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1689	O	S.G. #26	S.G. #26, 1898 "Pahang/Four cents" and bars on interleaving paper, a most unusual example of this rare provisional which was printed on the form used to create the 4c on 8c Surcharge (S.G. #25), tied to small piece by a clear "Kuala Lipis Pahang/10 Ap 1899" c.d.s., stamp has a most interesting pre-printing diagonal fold, very fine; 1967 RPS certificate (Scott #26; $1,400.00). (Image)	£1,800 Closed or SOLD for $2,200.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1690		S.G. #27	S.G. #27, 1898 "Pahang/Five cents" and bars on interleaving paper, unused, without gum as issued, a handsome example of this scarce provisional which was proposed for the anticipated 5c rate, which never materialized, very fine; 1988 Brandon certificate (Scott #27; $900.00). (Image)	£1,300 Closed or SOLD for $1,500.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1691		S.G. #1	S.G. #1, 1878 2c Brown, overprinted "P" surmounted by Crescent and Star in oval, this overprint on a Straits Settlements stamp was used to identify letters from Perak sent to other portions of the Straits, and typically mint/unused examples were rarely saved, unused, rich color, fine; one of the very few genuine examples we have ever seen; signed H. Bloch; ex-Asch (Scott #1; $1,400.00). (Image)	£1,300 Closed or SOLD for $700.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1692		S.G. #16	S.G. #16, 1883 "2 CENTS" surcharge Ty. 13 on 4c Rose, unused, well centered, very fine and scarce; 2000 Brandon certificate (Scott #12; $500.00). (Image)	£475 Closed or SOLD for $250.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
1693		S.G. #30a	S.G. #30a, 1887 "ONE CENT/PERAK" surcharge Ty. 27 on 2c Rose, surcharge in black, a wonderfully well centered mint example of this rare surcharge in black, rich color, o.g., lightly hinged, choice very fine; signed H.

1694		S.G. #32	S.G. #32, 1887 "1 CENT PERAK" surcharge Ty. 29 on 2c Rose, a terribly elusive unused example of this rare surcharge type, rich color, attractively centered, accompanying certificate states than an initial shows through from the back which has subsequently been removed, very fine; quite undercataloged in our opinion considering how infrequently this stamp is offered; 1969 PF certificate (Scott #18; $900.00). (Image)	£1,200 Closed or SOLD for $575.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
