Lot: 2064

Great Britain
King Edward VII
1902-10 De La Rue
One Penny
Rose-carmine horizontal pair variety imperforate between stamp and interpanneau margin at foot; short bend just crossing the left hand stamp, and minor paper inclusion mentioned only for the sake of total accuracy. A remarkable rarity, believed to be from a single row of twelve. Spec. M5(4)d, £5,750

Notes: This error came about by a failure of the perforator when the sheet was fed from the top. After repair, the sheet was subsequently fed in from the bottom with the machine stopping after eleven beats omitting the one line of perforations.
