A magnificent, extremely fine and rare multiple Gi = £ 5'000+.rnrnProvenance: From the 'Mayfair Find', Harmers, London, 9 Nov 1925, lot 69. The Find included a part sheet of 106 stamps with two rows imperforate between horizontally, although the photograph in the original catalogue clearly shows one imperforate row, the second such is not at all clear. This strip is certainly from the find due to it's overall freshness and quality and a copy of it's position on the Mayfair block of 106 stamps is attached. rnrn
