FORGERIES. Septet of early Newfoundland FORGERIES: four of the 2p "Winter" design, a faded 4p on card, a poor lithographed forgery of the 1sh value plus a crude 12c QV red brown issue. The convincing 2p forgeries are a very well executed engraved Oneglia forgery with tell-tale signs including the shape of the "C" in "PENCE", a bump on the lower right numeral 2 and a period instead of an apostrophe in "John's", plus three Spiro Brothers lithographed forgeries: one with rough perf 12 and two imperforate examples categorized as Type III by Ed Wener with 7 white circles to the left of "POSTAGE" rather than six. The 4p is most likely an Oneglia forgery printed on thick card stock. A very useful reference lot. Estimate
