The David Golden Collection of Hawaiian Stamps and Postal History continued...

Kamehameha Issue (Scott 6 off cover)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
211° ogbl Image1853, 13c Dark Red, Thick White Wove (6). Positions 1-4/5-8/9-12, from the top three rows of the pane of 20, block of twelve with sheet margins, full original gum, beautiful fresh color and fine impression, includes Position 3 double transfer, bottom row creased, slight thinning in margins just touches one stamp

THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 13-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III ISSUE AND ONE OF THREE, POSSIBLY FOUR, BLOCKS EXTANT.

This and the block of eight in the following lot were cut from the same pane and were seen together in the Ferrars H. Tows collection sold by Carl E. Pelander in October 1948. After the Tows auction, the pieces were sold to Alfred H. Caspary (block of eight) and Admiral Frederic R. Harris (block of twelve). When the Harris and Caspary collections were sold in 1954 and 1957, respectively, no one seized the opportunity to reunite the two. The larger block from the Harris sale went to Harold Leavitt, a California collector, and the small block from Caspary went to Josiah K. Lilly. After the Lilly collection was sold by our firm in 1967, the two blocks were finally reunited and acquired by Alfred J. Ostheimer III. Seen together again for the first time since the 1948 Tows sale, it was observed that someone, presumably Caspary, trimmed off a small part of the sheet margin of the smaller block.

THIS BLOCK, TOGETHER WITH THE ADJOINING BLOCK OF TWELVE OFFERED IN THE PREVIOUS LOT, FORM THE ORIGINAL PANE OF TWENTY.

The history of this block and its companion from the original pane is given in the previous lot description. In the Caspary sale, this block was described with "faint thinning in 2 small places," but there are no thins in this block, in or out of fluid.
