- This week Vincent looks at the printing differences between the Cape of Good Hope Triangular recess and "woodblock" types. Andrew shows two lovely items of Lord Howe Island (Australia) postal history.

Very nice! You have some really nice examples. Can’t help but to admire them!
Wow it's amazing! I couldn't say, which one is the most interesting, because they all are! Thanks!
Glad you think so!
Thank you, you make collecting fun!
Thanks for watching!
Will always choose Africa! :) First time I learn about "woodblock printing". Would have thought in my "innocent" ignorance that the woodblock stamps are forgeries of the "normal" stamps. :))))) Now I know better. Thank you for another interesting video!
You are welcome! Yes, I understand what you mean. Sadly due to the 'Woodblock' style (solid background and simpler appearance) forgeries of them can be difficult to spot although remember they are supposed to be on laid paper with lines showing when the stamp is held to the light or shone across the surface.
As a small boy growing up in Plymouth back in 1967,I can remember being on the Hoe,with my dad, watching, Gypsy Moth 1V arriving home,
so I would have to say the Howe Island flight cover for the Sir.F.C. connection,but those Woodblocks mostly look in superb condition. so it is a close run thing thankyou for yet another interesting insight
in the amazing world of philately
Thanks Mike. I guess our tastes are fixed early, the first time I asked for a job in the stamp business I took some of my (rather damaged) Cape triangulars into the local stamp shop to ask about them, so I've always had a 'soft spot' for them!
the crude woodblock printings are mesmerizing! You could have mentioned the famous errors of colour, found both with the one penny and four pence I think
Hi Allen. Yes, we probably should have done but we didn't have a genuine example to show. When one comes in we'll do another video!
I enjoyed the Howe Island part of this video.
Yes, so few of them about. I'm a big fan of all manuscript overprint & surcharges as they have some great history.
