Description
Great Britain 1855 1d red brown, plate 22, SG29.
A magnificent unused original gum left hand marginal block of nine from this very rare printing plate lettered KA-MC (showing Gothic letter K) with full deckle edge sheet selvedge and inscription.
A couple of light gum wrinkles as to be expected, in no way detracting from this magnificent multiple.
When this piece was sold in the 1982 Griffiths sale this block was described as "the only mint examples from this plate so far recorded".
It has graced a number of prestigious collections in the past with exceptional provenance being Ex. Wiggins, Griffiths & Baillie.
