Lot# 440 - 202-204 Auction

  • Lot# : 440 Ecuador

    1865: ½ real ultramarine, an unused reconstructed sheet of the 84 subjects (12 x 7), showing the complete marginal rule all round, made up from an irregular block of 55, overlapping a large block of 73 which is missing eleven stamps at lower right, showing the decay in the plate and the smearing of the ink on the thin paper. Inevitable ironed creases, nevertheless large multiples of this stamp are much rarer than that of the 1871 issue Scott = $ 5'000+.
