Full Reverse Offset VARIETY. NH example of the rare 1941 issue 14c Newfoundland Dog with full reverse offset. First "discovered" and marketed by Kasimir Bileski (read his sales blurb for the full story). This variety, while inexplicably presently unlisted in Unitrade, has been listed in the Walsh/Butt Newfoundland Specialized (NSSC) catalogue for quite some time as #247b. Fewer than 100 examples of the offset printing were found in the estate of the chairman of Perkins Bacon. 7th Edition Walsh/Butt catalogue NSSC US$190.00= $247.00
