42c INVERTED FRAME [1903 4 øre Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Large Crown Watermark] Used SUPERB with extremely light cancellation. The inverted frame stamps on this watermark exist from positions 91-100 on only three printings: 125-127, all with similar color and usually not possible to distinguish. This is an greatly under-rated and under-valued stamp that is missing from most collections. "Rare" in such nice quality! This is surely the nicest Used example I have had in 49 years.
