The two stamps below have been seen by me listed as Essays for Australia and New Zealand ! Could Waterlow have produced these for either country ?
Or both ? Or neither ?
I do have more info on these but I cannot find it. When I do, I will update here.
They exist in at least two other colours, shades of red and blue. There maybe more.

What is the horz. line on forhead?

My guess is that it is the lip of the glassine pocket in which the stamp resides on a stock page. You can see that the line extends beyond the edges of the stamp.

In 1858 Perkins Bacon received an order from the Mauritius Postal Authorities for Blue and Red-Brown stamps for an upcoming issue. Three other colours were also issued and went on sale but the former were not issued. All of these stamps were printed without values.
They were sent back to Perkins Bacon, quite a journey in those days, and were later used, overprinted by handstamp, at the 1890 London Philatelic Exhibition at the Portman Rooms in Baker Street. Probably to make up some of the losses on the issue.
At the event, they were perforated by PB and today are scarce, hard-to-find and not very cheap !!
It is believed only 2000 of the Mauritius remainders were overprinted.
I can show a Blue unissued stamp and one from the Exhibition.

I'll leave it to Linn's to tell you about the Unissued Stamp shown here. One of many thousands of items that are going up for sale as soon as the post gets back to something like normal.
But I love the design, just as I do the other 8 designed by AB Crawford.
Read about him, a fascinating story.

From my Red Cross 100th Anniversary collection...
Before the production of a stamp, there has to be a decision on what the design will be. The stamp from the Federal Republic of Germany was issued on May 24, 1963. Many designs were submitted for consideration, and the submission form was a back & white photo essay (I suppose that in 1963 that digital photos were not yet in vogue). So, I was fortunate to find a photo essay which was submitted for this design, which was unfortunately not accepted.

And from the United States....
This stamp was to commemorate the 11th Inter-American Conference in Quito Ecuador in February 1960. According to a couple of Linn's articles, the stamp was designed, announced, and plates were created (Pl# 26564-26567), but the conference was postponed, then postponed again. By the time the conference was held, in March 1961, the postage rate was close to being changed from 10c to 13c, so the plates were destroyed and the stamps never printed.

Although there were many private company airpost stamps issued in Great Britain, The government never did, itself issue postage stamps specifically for airmail service. However, there were many essay submissions for the design of such stamps. Here are a couple of my favorite from my World Airpost collection. These had been submitted for consideration for general airpost issues of the British Colonies.
And here are a few essays that had been submitted for airpost stamps for Great Britain proper...

Terry........Some nice items. Thanks for posting.
However, the two 'British Air Mail 6d' stamps are not Essays, only reproductions. They are cut-outs from a 1984 British Stamp Exhibition Souvenir Sheet printed by the House of Questa. Hence the poor quality. The original essays are by Bradbury Wilkinson.
But the good news is we have a thread for reproductions and if you could post them there that would be great !! I have the sheet but not the individual repros and they are missing from that thread.
Many thanks

If 20 members had just one of these, then this could be a very beautiful thread.
