It is not a roller flaw as it is not constant in position. It represents damage to the plate and occurred late 1934 or early 1935 and was quickly noticed and repaired. This specimen was printed from a clean plate early in the day’s run. There is no sign of compartment marks. Nevertheless there is a marked absence of minor flaws common to CofA printings."

95.	New Zealand collection of mint stamps from 1935 to 1992, all housed on hand-made album pages in a springback binder. This little album packs quite a punch, with loads of pre-decimal sets present including 1935 Airmails, 1935 KGV Jubilee and 1940 Centenary plus the majority of less expensive commemoratives up to 1966.
