    30 reis grey-black, Intermediate Impression on greyish paper, a superb used block of six from the First Composite plate (positions 5-6/11-12/17-18), State D; being the right hand third of the pane, showing the complete outer frame lines and the horizontal dividing line at base, neatly cancelled by three fine strikes of rare circular undated PORTO ALEGRE SUL (Ayres 1586) in black. Slight ironed horizontal bend on central stamps but an exceptional rarity, one of only three known used multiples larger than a block of four of this stamp. Exceptional and extremely rare. Illustrated in Brookman "Bulls Eyes Stamps of Brazil" on page 6, and on the front cover of José Kloke "Die Ochsenaugen".
    Provenance: Newbury, Hubbard (May 1986), lot 2019.
