Good on you. Great find.
Thanks.
Very nice! Look at my avatar!
An American cousin of my block of 4.
always loved spectacular misperfs; being a booklet pane, makes it all the more fascinating; as such, is it a block of 4 or 6?
Hi amsd
It is a block of 4. I also find grossly misplaced misperfs spectacular and an excellent show piece.
Visited the Newcastle Half National Stamp and Coin Exhibition on Sunday, not many people were in attendance, cannot say if the attendance was better on Friday or Saturday. I picked up a few rare stamps, saw the exhibits, all were great; but before I show my new acquisitions I would like to share an experience with an interstate stamp dealer - What an idiot.
I just saw the 1942 tête-bêche pair, and went to another stamp dealer to share that unique experience seeing this unique rarity. The dealer said to me that it was part of the theft that occurred in the 1940s.
I said that is true. And then my partner and I copped the righteous act from him - "I will not touch stolen stamps, I had someone come in yesterday with some and I refused to buy them.
After he finished, I pointed to two blocks to my partner from his table, one a block of 4 and the other a block of 6, I then said to her in front of him, these two blocks were from the 1940s theft, he looked like a stunned mullet when I said that.
Now to the stamps I purchased yesterday. This rare stamp is a 1951 3½d Block of 4 with grossly misplaced perforations, the block is totally mint unhinged and is in spectacular condition, front and back is shown.
Perforations misplaced by 8-9mm
