Morocco Agencies 1903-05 2p black and blue, watermark CA, lower left corner block of 12 (6x2) with plate number '1', SG23.
A brilliant quality unmounted mint corner block with full original gum (hinge mark in margin only). A couple of stamps with trivial gum wrinkles, which do not detract as in overall lovely condition.
An extremely scarce positional multiple as only 25 sheets were printed!
Following a decision to identify the exact revenue derived from the Morocco postal service, separate stamps were needed for the Morocco Agencies. This requirement further became necessary because of a Revision of Fees Ordinance in Gibraltar, which required all fees to be collected in Sterling, while the Morocco Agencies continued to use Spanish currency. This led to the introduction of Gibraltar stamps with 'Morocco Agencies' overprints.
