Hong Kong 1863-71 96c. olive-bistre in a rejoined horizontal pair cancelled by two strikes of "B62" in blue; both stamps with some light creasing or wrinkling and the left stamp with a few perf. faults. An extremely rare and desirable multiple as there is thought to be only one other used pair recorded. Photo Estimate HK$ 10,000-20,000 These stamps came from an old-time collection; one had been mounted in the album and the second was on an approval sheet (which, fortunately, had not been circulated)
