Small imperfections as to be expected but a remarkable and extremely rare block - the used 'block of twelve' recorded, is in fact a block of six, a strip of three, a pair and a single - this being the largest known used multiple.rnrnProvenance: Collection Norman Hubbard, Stanley Gibbons, New York, 17 March 1981, lot 122;rn                     Collection Mark Spycher, Rapp, Wyl, Nov 2008.rn
