3½d. brown-purple horizontal pair, variety imperforate between, both with light vertical crease not affecting appearance, otherwise fine unmounted mint. A major rarity from the George VI reign. S.G. 247a, £18,000; BW 253b, $22,500. Photo

Note: Three examples are known which originally comprised a vertical block of six; the lower pair was damaged. This block is believed to have been a booklet pane, the omission of the perforations being caused by a paper fold.
