PHILATELISTS’ DISCOVERY
DEFECT IN NEW STAMP ISSUE [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, October 2. A mistake on the new Chamber of Commerce stamp of halfpenny denomination has been discovered by collectors. The error occurs in the license numbers of the lorry laden with wool which is depicted on the stamp. Instead of heavy traffic plates there is a five-figure group, which should be displayed only by motor cars. A magnifying glass is required to show the defect, which, however, is rot regarded seriously by the Post and Telegraph Department.
