 -  BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA / NYASALAND  -  1898 Cheque stamps, SG 54-57a
AN233
1898 Setting II, 1d vermilion and deep ultramarine, imperforate. Showing the spectacular variety CENTRE OMITTED. Some hinge thins and vertical crease as often seen on this variety. Very rare. SG 55b var
 
Note: Although it is assumed single stamps with centre omitted probably emanate from the upper half of a vertical pair with normal, De Robeck (1982) illustrates a horizontal corner pair with centres omitted, apparently from the left of the lower row. This stamp appears plateable as position 19, i.e. the fourth stamp from the left of the lower row.
