Description
- Stamps
good colour, faint corner crease, much original gum; fine. B.P.A. Certificate 2004. RARE. (S.G. £1,800)
In the Marcus Samuel sale, this stamp was sold as having slight adhesions on the reverse. These, for the most part, have been expertly removed. Described as 'one of very few known' it is now thought to be unique. The catalogue value should, realistically, be considerably higher
