Description
Great Britain 1867 10d pale red brown Plate 1, SG113.
A very fine used left hand wing margin block of four lettered 'GI-HJ', neatly cancelled by superb Bedford circular date stamps for 'OC.2.1872'. Lovely pale shade.
A very fine and scarce positional multiple of this attractive Queen Victoria surface printed stamp.
The 10d value was introduced for prepayment of postage to India, Mauritius and Australia via Marseilles. The rate was changed in 1870 meaning there was little demand for the 10d stamp and it was withdrawn in 1877.
