    1920 (Sept): Jerusalem I, 5 pi. deep purple, Setting I, the block of 24 from the two lower horizontal rows of the sheet thus showing Overprint Types 13-24 and 1-12 complete; additionally showing the 'Hebrew Transposed' error on position 239 the last but one stamp on the sheet, the lower left corner stamp (position 229) showing 'Arabic Z' variety with additional dot above the Arabic 'T' - this first column of stamps was removed from the later sheets issued - and thus this block also shows the rarest types of the surcharge: Types 13 and 23. The block also shows (position 237) the 'Apostrophe above Arabic N' variety clearly. The block correctly annotated 'Row 2 / Row 1' at left in manuscript ink, centrally folded between the stamps and with two slight hinge remnants, otherwise full unmounted og. A rare and most appealing positional multiple Gi = £ 2'300+.

    Provenance: Collection of the late Benny Guggenheim.
