Rare large multiple without watermark entirely UM no separation – Brighter shade of spectrum encountered not very deep nor very pale – Auction acquired described as SG37 – Recent (2019) BPA certificate – In my view the shade is a brighter example somewhere in the middle of the range found. It is quite distant from clear-cut pale examples found pre 1865, but does not seem a strong candidate as a clear-cut blue.
Very fine condition 'exhibition quality piece', fresh original MNH gum every stamp - Single tiny inclusion speck R2/2.
