    8 reales red-lilac, without District overprint, the magnificent mint block of 18 stamps (6 x3), with part of the vertical marginal guideline at right. Minor central bend vertically between the stamps and small age stain at right in margin, but of excellent fresh colour and with large part or unmounted original gum. Extremely rare in such a large multiple - only one other larger block (of 30) is recorded. A splendid and rare block for the connoisseur.
