Description

A fine mint positional block with part to large part original gum. Particularly pleasing with comparatively little backing adhesion, which is most commonly seen with this issue. Faint perforation tones at foot, mentioned for accuracy, and do not detract from fine fresh appearance.
A very scarce block.
