This stamp has confounded me for a long time. It appears to be South Australia from the cancel and it is on wove paper and is deep Purple. I'm thinking it is probably a stationary cut out. Can anyone shed some light on it please?
I believe it is a cut-out from South Australia newspaper wrapper, although the paper looks whiter than the ones I've normally seen. Unfortunately, I don't have a H&G catalog to eliminate any other possibilities.
The shading on the Queen's neck is different. On yours, slightly tilted, but on the newspaper wrapper it is nearly horizontal. So it is not that specific newspaper wrapper.
Need somebody with an H&G or specialized Australian States catalog to chime in.
