1956 2d REDDISH VIOLET ON WHITE PAPER never hinged (unmounted) mint o.g. is NORFOLK ISLAND'S RAREST STAMP
STAMP IN FINE CONDITION - GREAT INVESTMENT
Norfolk's 1947 "Ball Bay" stamps were printed on toned paper by a flat bed recess printer. Reprints of some values were made in 1949 and 1952 by the same method. In November 1956, four values (½d, 1d, 1½d & 2d) were printed on a larger rotary recess printing press, on thinner, whiter paper, resulting in the appearance of deeper colors. In 1959, two values (3d and 2shillings) were printed by the same method, but in new colors, green and blue.

SINCE THE 2016 CLOSURE OF NORFOLK POST, INTEREST AND DEMAND FOR EARLIER NORFOLK STAMP ISSUES HAS SURGED. MANY SETS AND SINGLE ISSUES HAD SMALL PRINTINGS AND LIMITED SALES. VISIT OUR EBAY STORE FOR QUALITY OFFERS ON TOP QUALITY NORFOLK MATERIAL.
