(x) New South Wales 1888-89 Centennial 1d. lilac on Stamp Duty paper, an upper left corner pair, the left stamp without watermark, some perfs at top re-inforced, fine mint. S.G. 259. Photo Note: In late 1888, there was a shortage of Watermark Large Crown/NSW paper and the Government Printer was forced to produce emergency printings of the 1d. and 2d. values on Stamp Duty paper watermarked "NSW". Since the paper was of a different size than that usually encountered, some sheets missed the perforating machine, producing stamps imperforate between stamp and margin. This was part of the printing process and is not considered an error. However, on rare occasions, the paper was mis-placed resulting in stamps in the corner position being printed without watermark.
