Sale #56

1874 - General Issue 40c rose in spectacular block of 15 cancelled by pen-strokes and the rare two-line 'Buenos-Aires/coi Postali Italiani' used at Genoa, odd light toning and slight perf separation between two stamps (reinforced), rounded corner etc but hardly detracting from what must be one of the largest multiples with this cancellation. Not listed in Sassone which prices a strip of five (with normal cancellation) at €1,400! Probably unique, a great rarity [Raybaudi cert. 1984] (15) (image available) [US1] (Reserve = £4,272.00) [Estimate price: £5,340.00]
