Samuel Type GB6 (Nicholson Type N16)

Type GB6 was in use between 1855 & 1862, and
was handstamped at Somerset House.
The Type was usually applied to the stamps of
Great Britain, however, it can also be found on a
limited number of Fiscals and Pineapples.
As well as the above two items, which were
not recorded by Samuel, the handstamp is also
known on the 1d, 2d & 4d values.

describes as

Up until early 1862, printing was carried out under the control of the Board of the Inland Revenue,
as a consequence imprimatur sheets were registered at Somerset House on 3rd October 1860.
