Ceylon 1885 10c on 24c brown-purple, type 26 De La Rue surcharge, block of 60 (10x6) from the upper left corner of the lower half of the sheet, severed into blocks of 24 (4x6) and 36 (6x6), with the latter including six gutter pairs, SG188.
A very fine philatelic piece, mint with original gum. As would be expected, there are the odd minor blemishes (gum creases, a little offsetting and separation) but fresh colour with most stamps being unmounted mint. Most pleasingly, the gutter pairs are intact.
A dramatic and scarce multiple.
The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £900+.
