1909, 2c Vermilion & Black, Ovpt. Reading Up, Booklet Pane of Six, Handmade, Perf Margins (32c). Unexploded booklet of four panes, with booklet cover of the 1c value (CZSG 32c.6), the panes have some gum disturbance, but are not stuck to the interleaving (as is the case on all other examples we have seen)

VERY FINE. A RARE BOOKLET CONTAINING 2-CENT STAMPS BUT WITH A COVER DENOTING ONE-CENT STAMPS. ONLY SIX SUCH BOOKLETS WITH THE WRONG COVER ARE RECORDED.

Apparently a small number of the 1c booklet covers were printed in the salmon color intended for the 2c (instead of the usual lemon color). The postal employees preparing booklet identified the covers only by the color, and a few of these 1c error covers were filled with 2c stamps.
