    Fourth Printing Group 1873: 1 real pale orange on "Exercise Book" paper, two unused blocks of four, rejoined to form the lower right corner block, positions 62-63/71-72 and 80-81/89-90, with the final stamp showing the rounded SE corner; vertical frameline at right with thin inner frameline alongside; the excercise paper thin blued lines are barely visible on the front or reverse, however the reverse is unusually heavily gummed for any Ecuadorean first issue adhesive and the easiest way to identify this stamp - just two sheets were formerly held in the Stanley Gibbons reference collection hence their listing (Gi. 8). Faults to the multiple with closed marginal tear on the upper block and gum; see page on face but very rare.
