| The list of
Rhodesia UDI period below was originally published by ourselves in a
printed and illustrated version. This work is still available at a cost
of £20 (plus postage), and is a valuable record of what does
exist from this era.
We list it here in its entirety, even although a good number of items
have since been sold, as a record of what this remarkable assembly did
originally contain: 1965 I. T. U. Centenary SG 351-53 |

without overprint. VERY RARE, only two others of this variety exist. SG
359a
Note: This variety emanates from a single corner block where the corner of the sheet was folded over during the overprint run, with part of the overprint visible on the reverse. The fold covered the lower three rows, giving a total of three such strips that were affected. This is the only strip that has two left stamps without overprint and the only strip that shows completely missing and normal stamps together, as the two above show partial impressions of the overprint adjacent to the omitted stamp. A great rarity from the UDI period. |

3d major variety, PAIR, ONE STAMP WITHOUT
OVERPRINT. Left stamp without overprint, right stamp lettering of
overprint malformed. Left stamp with rounded corner. Extremely rare
Note: This item is the result of a paper fold during the overprint run, in a very similar way and position to the ½d variety. Part of the missing overprint is visible on the reverse of the left stamp. No information is known as to further examples of this variety. The left stamp has the 'mark by Kudu's ear' flaw, proving position 19/1, so in theory position 20/1 could exist as a similar pair. The left stamp with faults, including rounded corner, as to be expected with the nature of this variety. |

During its delivery to the successful purchaser the item went astray in the post and was never recovered. Further to this saga, one half from this same block was offered for auction by International Philatelic Services of Johannesburg, on public auction. Despite the fact it was brought to the attention of both auctioneers that this item was previously stolen in the post, no further action was taken. |

1/3 major variety, OCHRE OMITTED. The unique sheet
number '091' with a total of 12 stamps showing this variety. The ochre
printing stops at the right edge of column three, is completely omitted
on columns four and five and starts again about 75% of the way through
column six. Endorsed on top margin '7.10.0' believed to be an
accounting mark. Very minor toning top right corner well away from the
varieties. A stunning item and without doubt the most important of the
era. SG 381a
Note: This sheet was apparently discovered soon after being issued. It is not known from which Post Office it emanated, and the pen endorsement in the top margin confirms it being released thus. It was sold intact soon afterwards and has remained in a private collection ever since. |

Essays for the original three values:
Essays for the black wording only, pasted on transparent overlay, each with the proposed portrait of the Queen removed, presumably an alternative design was decided upon. Comprising: 1.) The original 2d value with 'SIR ROWLAND HILL' pasted in at left and the balance of the wording for the design, endorsed at lower right 'White centre / BLUE case' and '9d' circled and at base 'ALL BLUE ON THIS OVERLAY'. (The '9d' signifies a change of intended value for this design. No 2d value was issued). 2.) The original 3d value of the 'ZEEDERBERG COACH' endorsed 'ORANGE' at top, 'BLUE' at base and 'FACE FOR POSITION ONLY' at right, with the balance of the black lettering pasted on. 3.) The original 1/6 value of the 'PENNY BLACK' endorsed 'White centres' by '1/6', 'ALL BLACK ON THIS OVERLAY' and 'NOT THIS PORTRAIT / FOR POSITION ONLY' upper right, with the balance of the black lettering pasted on. The above three items Note: The original concept for this issue was for a set of three stamps. Harrison & Sons had their artist Mr. V. Whiteley prepare the designs but due to political consideration their production by Harrisons was not possible. The above three essays are presumably this original work which was then handed over to Mardon Printers. |
£500 |
|
| RU451 |
Essays for the additional 2/6 value:
1.) Rough sketch close to the issued stamp on lined paper in pencil and coloured by red and green crayon. Endorsed at top 'Red ground - ½ tone base to our other stamp', at right 'Queens head as other stamps' and lower right 'change denomination to 2/6', all in red ink. 2.) Large black and white reproduction of the 1892 £5 Arms stamp, considerably touched up with both white and black ink. On thin card then pasted onto thick cream card. The above two items Note: In 'RHODESIA A Postal History' by R. C. Smith, he records the large reproduction of the £5 stamp commenting 'The photograph was considerably enlarged and then retouched. The result was re-photographed and consequently the reproduction of this stamp has the appearance of almost being superior in quality to the original' (see p431). Presumably he was referring to this exact item. The inclusion of this fourth 2/6 value was intended to round up the set face value to 5/-, apparently to ease remittance by overseas buyers. This set is the first attempt by local printers at serious stamp production bar the hastily produced 2/6 Independence stamp. Essay for the Miniature sheet: |
£550 |
|
| RU452 |
The black lettering for the marginal wording of
the miniature, pasted on thick card with printers guide lines around,
to the exact size of the issued sheet
Note: Essays for any stamps of the UDI period are virtually unknown in private hands. It was policy for all material of this nature to become the property of the PTC. It is possible that as this was the first seriously produced set of stamps in the country, policy was not in place for these items to be handed over to the PTC. The above items are not only unique in themselves, but are exceedingly rare as essays from the era. |

Note: When these sheets were split up it was decided to cut them along a lower edge leaving an intact row of perforations on the lower stamp, the stamp adjoining it below appearing to be imperforate at top. Of the above selection offered with this variety, only the single stamp has NOT been treated in this way, having normal perforations all round. With the inclusion of the two examples above with cylinder inscriptions, at least two sheets must have been affected. It is not possible to accurately establish if the single copy came from a third sheet or simply was not treated in the same manner as the others. |

10/- first printing, as above, but in a vertical

Note: Although traditionally termed the 'first printing', these stamps were in fact printed after the 10/- 'trial' printings. The 'retouch' flaw originally occurred in the trial cylinder 1A sheets and because it was so obvious Mardons decided to remove it from the plate. The result in the 'first' printings is a large pale area to the left of the small Guineafowl in the top left corner. It is the most prominent of all the UDI constant flaws and is more prominent than the non-retouched 'trial' flaw. |

Note: It is an interesting observation that according to 'The Mashonaland Guide', they were unable to list the flaws on the 1A sheets of the 10/- and £1 JH3 papers as they had not been seen by them. It was customary for members of The Mashonaland Philatelic Society to convene soon after every issue since Federation days with the purpose of recording all relevant information, and to examine complete sheets of the stamps to list every minor or more prominent printing flaw. Anyone who has worked with 'The Guide' will appreciate the author's great diligence. It must be a reflection of the scarcity of the 10/- and £1 values that they were unable to locate intact sheets from cylinder 1A. |

ESSAY: Proposed original design for the $1
value watercolour (114x105mm) on thick card (178x178mm), depicting a
helicopter on the ground and medical staff attending to a patient, in
the theme of the Air Medical Rescue but this altered in the issued
stamp to a helicopter in the Air. Signed at lower right by Rose Martin,
who designed most of the set. Highly attractive
Note: This is one of very few hand-painted essays for modern Rhodesia in private hands. Perhaps because it bears the theme for the value and not the final design it was allowed to be kept by the artist. This item, the Rhopex items earlier in this list and essays for the 1966 CAA and 1978 Powered Flight issue are ALL that are known in private hands for the period. |

The group illustrates a number of the shade variations encountered, particularly the 1c and 50c which are quite distinct as the third printings on each. |

Note: This variety is not to be confused with the 'double black' printings encountered on various issues of modern Rhodesia. The doubling would have been caused by the paper crease disturbing the normal run of the dark blue printing. Paper creases are notably rare from Mardons, this block and the 'doubling' effect no doubt being unique. |

Note: Three sheets with this variety were discovered in the stock of the Zimbabwe Stamp Company in 1986. One sheet had the albino impression slightly shifted left in a uniform way. Items 985-987 come from this sheet. The other two sheets had the impression more or less correctly aligned at the right and then progressively shifting down and slightly left across to the left of the sheets where the '8c' appears in the stamp below. Examples from the left of these two sheets are therefore the most desirable examples of this variety, items 988-991 come from these sheets. |

Note: During November 1976 a batch of the 2c postage dues printed on gummed side was released at Causeway Post Office. It is recorded that when the Philatelic community became aware of these, it was remembered that the floor around the tax counter was littered with 2c dues that would not adhere to the envelopes. It was soon established what had occurred and the faulty sheets were withdrawn. The above two covers have the dues stuck on with some type of adhesive, and because of them being gummed on the front, the canceller would not take clearly. Genuine covers are rare, later dated covers are philatelically contrived. |

A delightful series of correspondence between R.
Mayo and Harold Wilson, comprising:1.) Two 2/6 Independence First Day
Covers, each different registered and applied with additional 2/6
definitives and both addressed to 'The Right Honourable Harold Wilson'.
One with 'STAMPS NOT VALID' cachets then deleted and both with green
boxed 'POSTAGE PAID / F. S. 'cachets, i.e. the so called 'not valid'
taxed element ignored. Both with original registered slips.2.) The
envelope in which these two covers were returned, bearing the '10
Downing Street / Whitehall' imprint on reverse and with small printed
'With the Private Secretary's Compliments' slip. The envelope was
presumably sent in the Diplomatic Bag as it bears a 'SALISBURY 28 XII
65' machine cancel.3.) Copy of a letter acknowledging receipt and
thanking the Prime Minister for returning so promptly the above two
covers. Further requesting him to do the same again but this time with
an 'Independence Overprint' First Day Cover, and that he includes 2/3d
to cover the cost should it be taxed. Registered slip together.4.) A
copy of a letter sent to Mr. Bottomley requesting he do the same with a
further two covers, the registered slips enclosed.5.) Reply from the
request to Harold Wilson as number 3, that 'it is not the Prime
Minister's practice to return the envelopes he receives (etc.) and I
return to you 2s 3d which you forwarded'. The enclosing envelope
stampless with 'On Her Britannic Majesty's Service' cachet in green and
violet oval 'DIPLOMATIC SERVICE' strike below.6.) Copy of a letter from
R. Mayo which in essence comments that having been delighted in
receiving the two earlier covers returned, he now was surprised that
the later two were held back. Further 'that an official enquiry is to
be held regarding the sale of envelopes addressed to yourself' and to
request information as to their fate.7.) In finality to the above, a
letter from one A. H. Reid on official '10 Downing Street' printed
letterhead stating 'I write on behalf of the Prime Minister to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of March 14. (etc.) (The
envelope) 'It is retained in this office. I am not prepared to return
it.' Together with envelope addressed to R. Mayo with no inscription
that it was sent through the post, one would presume it was hand
delivered ?* An extraordinary group, summarising the rapidly
deteriorating relations between the two nations and the petty nature of
the British Government at the time in dealing with the whole Rhodesia
UDI situation
Note: In R. C. Smith's book 'Rhodesia - A Postal History', he illustrates on page 320 one of the actual covers as described in point 1. above. He further refers to the enquiry mentioned, and that nothing further was heard of it. |

| RU1461 |
Republic of Rhodesia banner, design as above, but
specially produced very large size (approximately 3m x 7m). 'William
Smith & Gurrock' official flagmakers label sewn in. Exceedingly
rare and could well be unique
Note: It would appear that this banner has been flown as it is somewhat soiled and the corners are frayed. Recent enquiries made to William Smith and Gurrock as to why this vast flag was produced yielded no further information. Possibly used for ceremonial unveiling of the flag in 1970 when Rhodesia was declared a Republic. Magnificent! |
