Date of issue: October 29th, 1978
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/4This is an interesting curiosity. Not a valid postal stamp. It comes as an exterior orange booklet and a second sheet (loose, folded but not stapled or attached) printed on stamp quality paper (no gum). It is a really nice piece in my opinion.
The description of the sheet says:
Printed at Stamp Show '78 on the Heidelberg GTO press by Mitchell Press Pty. Ltd.
Designed by Sarah Winslade winner of the Stamp Show '78 design award under 16 section.
The back of the booklet says:
Reproduction of a miniature sheet. First produced at 4th Philatelic Exhibition Melbourne October 29th, 1928.
Taken from drawing by R.A. Harrison
Each sheet is numbered and dated for day of production at Stamp Show '78
Original was supplied by Mission Stamps and is available from Mission Stamps or
