    Jersey Mise en Train Proofs Set of Four Corner examples in very fine condition

    Jersey Mise en Train Proofs Set of Four Corner examples in very fine condition
    Jersey Mise en Train Proofs Set of Four Corner examples in very fine condition. Proofs of four values – 1/2d 1d 1 1/2d and 2d. These are not strictly Proofs as the stamps had already been proofed and finally approved. Mise en Train means put in motion or make ready for action. The prints represent trial runs to ensure the correct setting of machines prior to commencing production. The French Government printing works always used a special pink paper and black ink for this purpose so that the prints could not be mistaken for proofs. These trial runs were usually destroyed. However it is understood two partly crumpled sheets of the 1/2d 1d 1 1/2d and 2d values apparently survived. The 2 1/2d and 3d values were destroyed in the normal way – by incineration. The complete series therefore consists of 120 examples of each of the 1/2d 1d 1 1/2d and 2d values of which the majority are creased. The 120 examples comprised two whole sheets of each value and for many years they were in the possession of Professor Yves Maxime Danan at the Sorbonne a leading French philatelist. They were offered to the Jersey Post Office on its inauguration in October 1969 but were declined by the Postal Committee. 1st Class for large items (pages/RAF covers etc).
