1921 : Orange shades E7,8,8a,9

A second set of quads replaced the first and continued on into the Red printings.

Electro 8A had it's entire bottom row (including the imprint) replaced with electro1 during it's use.

three more electros (4B, 5A and 6A) are possible.

One very late printing was on much thinner paper in dull buff orange.

A small proportion of stamps (perhaps 4 sheets) are unwatermarked due to the beginning of the print roll.
