Lot: 68

1875, 10c. pale yellow and greenish blue, first printing, a magnificent vertical block of six from the base of the sheet where the multiple is imperforate, showing clean strikes of "Buhrow Schutt & Co./Agents" two-line handstamp applied on each horizontal pair. The multiple has been affixed to piece of paper from which it did not originate. Despite Dr. Arno Debo's certificate stating this multiple to be the largest recorded exhibiting a handstamp, we know of the existence of a larger one. Of outstanding beauty and highly desirable. Cert. Debo, signed Bloch. Yv. 13. Ex Borromeo D'Adda.
