ONE OF THREE RECORDED MULTIPLES OF THIS RARE NUMERAL ISSUE, OF WHICH ONLY TWO USED PAIRS ARE AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS.

Only two other multiples are recorded: an unused block in the Tapling collection at the British Library and another used pair offered in our Honolulu Advertiser sale in 1995. Only the two used pairs are available to collectors. For a stamp of such great rarity in used condition, the survival of a multiple is truly remarkable.

Ex Caspary and Burrus. (Image)
