The First Victorian Keyplate 1872 to 1896
Forgeries, Lithographed by Spiro Brothers. No Watermark. Perf 12½.
The quality of the paper and ink used is poor; this combined with the crudely produced design results in
stamps unlikely to deceive collectors. These replicas always have false postmarks. They were printed in small
sheets of 25.
