1 Cent Scott, Newfoundland #253 1942 final proof mint and not hinged. Perkins, Bacon & Co. provenance.

Kasimir Bileski Notes: 
NEWFOUNDLAND 
#184 The FINAL PROOF 

Here's an extraordinary pair, the like of which has up to now not been seen by any collector or dealer in the world. 

Perkins Bacon printed the world's first stamp, the Cape Triangles, the first stamps of nurerous (sic) other countries including Newfoundland, fittingly not only the first but also the last and lots in-between. They printed #184 and just about then started keeping a curious record of their work. When the printing job was finished for any value, one final proof on bookend paper was printed and a record made on this sheet as to total number printed. 

One of the proof sheets that so survived, coming to light only after over 40 years, is the one for #184. I do believe it is the very first one of its type and certainly no one up to now has ever mentioned anything about bookend paper final proofs for this or any other value.Here's a photostat of the side of the sheet. 

Here's a photostat of the side. of the sheet. Note it shows 42,670 sheets were printed.Exactly 50 pairs is all that exist of this final proof.
