1914 Bradbury One Pound - T3 - 1st issue - 3rd Series - Type 4 - 7 digits (Sideways watermark) B/40 No. 0071006
Inverted watermark GATSOP - for POSTAGE from sideways part of the stamp sheet. Between ONE POUND & the number & John Bradbury signature. SIDEWAYS watermark - GvR (crowned) - not very clear but the best that the scanner & Photopshop can show. Extremely RARE Obv. Clean & flat Rev. Very slightly dirty at top centre and a couple of creases found when held to the light ! Probably pressed at some stage otherwise rare example with 7 digits and sideways watermark. * Not sure how many up right One Pound notes were printed per sheet. Possibly 3 x 9 as is seen on the above sheet - part of the 3rd upright note is clearly visible to the right , at the top. Which would equate to 27 upright (minimum) and only 4 sideways. Making a sideways watermark One Pound 6.75 times rarer than an upright One Pound ! This rarity reflects in the price. ** Sheet of £1 plus 4 sideways is part of a picture in an early edition of Pam West's book "English Paper Money". Cannot remember which edition !? Grade: EF/EF?
