1936, Päts 4 S., archival proofs, strip of 3, with plate error and printing order number T.262 of the first printing of the 4 S. Päts, printing order date April 29, 1936. In 1936 the Estonian State Printing Office started to print printing order numbers on the sheet margin. Archival proofs are known to exist only for the first printing of the 4 S. Päts, not for subsequent printing orders of the 4 S. Päts. Bottom margin 27 mm wide. Plate error in Pos.91 (white error, outer frame indented at bottom right), plate errors on proofs are very rare. The perforation registration mark (cross) does not have a hole  because the proofs were not perforated, compare the perforated postage stamps in the following lot. Very fine (Hurt/Ojaste G:1, F:1)

Alle Marken sind sehr farbfrisch und in einwandfreier, sehr guter Erhaltung. Das mit Rötel austaxiert und frankierte Porto war falsch berechnet, der Portoanteil ab Bremen betrug nur 55 statt 75 Groschen und wurde daher rückseitig mit Blaustift entsprechend korrigiert.

1958, Europe Flag 35 fr. épreuve d'artiste in black green with engraver signature, fine

1936, Päts 4 S., block and strip of postage stamps with the first printing order T.262, from panes C and D. The register cross of the block of four (pane C) is an unusual variety, without a hole, similar to the imperforate proofs in the preceding lot. This type of register cross, with two bars of equal length, is a perforation register mark, not a printing register mark (for printing different colors) or a cutting register mark. The block of four is not perforated at the left, while the strip of three is perforated at the left. Both the block of four (pane C) and the strip of 3 (pane D) have the same plate error in pos.91 (white error, outer frame indented at bottom right), indicating that the intermediate cliché of 1x 100 stamp images must have contained already this plate error, which was then replicated four times into the clichés of the four counter panes. The block of four is slightly toned, mint never hinged, fine/very fine (Hurt/Ojaste F:1)  

1915, Seahorses 2s.6d., 5s.  and 10s., the left hand marginal set of Imprimaturs, removed by the N.P.M. in 1984, mint, 2/6 and 5 sh. showing portion of cross guide marks, full original gum, lightly hinged in the margins only, extremely fine and fresh. Handstamped „B.P.M.A.“ on reverse, the 10s. with additional small ink stroke of most likely official nature. An extremely rare set. 

Note: The Sea Horses are the first line engrave stamps in the Kings period, over 40 years after the last Victoria line engraved issue.
