The "CANCELLED" Obliterator
In August 1861 the printers, Perkins, Bacon and Co., provided six examples of each stamp in their possession to Ormond Hill (eldest son of Sir Rowland Hill) for members of the family. These fascinating stamps and the story behind their appearance, have been fully described in an article by Mr. Peter Jaffe in "The Australian Philatelist" Vol. 1 No. 6 Summer 1989.
