Flaw Found In New Blue Three-penny Health Stamp
Keen philatelists at Whakatane on Monday were not slow to discover a flaw in the 3d blue health stamp. The second left-hand stamp on each sheet has been printed minus the dot under the Id (for health). The demand for the first two stamps of each set grew so importunate that sellers at the Post Office had their curiosity excited, but found it hard to find out the secret from prospective buyers. The faulty stamp will have a rarity value, it is considered, much in excess of the prospective value of the remainder.
