Lot: 92

1859, 120c. blue, the remarkable marginal block of six from the left of the sheet, mixed types arrangement 7-8-11 / 9-10-13, including type 11 instead type 7, and type 13 instead type 9, very fresh impression with large to enormous margins. Horizontal crease between adhesives of no significance. This value was printed using a common transfer block of 20 types arranged in two vertical rows, except for a portion of the sheet that was composed of abnormal type order in horizontal rows. (Described by Lee on page 55 of his handbook). One of only three multiples showing the mixed types recorded, which is a highly remarkable feature as the mixed types are only found in this value. A fascinating and most desirable rarity of Uruguayan philately. Cert. Hernández Rocha, signed Díaz Paulos. Ciardi 10. Ex Lee and Hoffmann.
