Harry Hawker marginal block of fifteen (5x3) from the top of the sheet, variety the top row imperforate with the lower stamp imperforate at top, fresh and fine unmounted mint. Rare. BW 790b, A$7,500. Photo Estimate £ 1,500-2,000 Note: In Brusden White it states "This was the first issue to be perforated by Asher & Co., and considerable difficulties were experienced with this process, and with checking of the sheets prior to despatch. This has resulted in the issue of an inordinate number of perforation errors. Of this variety it is possible that no more than two sheets were issued, giving a total of 10 recorded pairs."
