3d. brown-lilac, a block of twelve (3x4) with part sheet margin at right, good to large margins mainly on the other three sides, two stamps with frame-line just

largest recorded multiple. Holcombe Certificate (1988). Sc. 13; S.G. 40, £6,000+. provenance: G.H. Boucher, October 1969 "Antipodes", October 1988 Christie's Robson Lowe, October 1989 (Image) |
