Scott #51a, NK #68, Facit #68 [1896 10 øre Carmine, Knudsen Print, Perf 13.5 x 12.5] Mint F-VF+ (bottom two stamps NH) 4-block with perforation "error" Type 1 on the left side stamps (does not add to the cost). This block is from the Norman Gary collection; he marked the four cliche types as 2-3/4-1 (but the standard numbering for the types may have changed since he determined them). Wonderfully fresh and attractive -- nice multiples of this "workhorse" denomination are really quite scarce; these stamps were almost completely used up in normal postal use. Even NH stamps are scarce. The break-up value of this block is about $420 (and I do have clients seeking the single stamps) but I cannot bring myself to break up such a nice and scarce block. |

56, Facit #82, NK #82 [1900 35 øre Posthorn, Knudsen Printing, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] NEVER HINGED lower right corner margin 4-block with all VF and XF stamps. Only a small hinge mark in the sheet margin. Stated by the previous owner (a Posthorn specialist) to be from the first printing. While not a very scarce stamp in NH condition, or even in NH/Mint multiples, examples this nice are quite unusual! Stunning appearance! Priced at only the break-up value of the four stamps! Very low price as a block! |

56, Facit #82, NK #82 [1900 35 øre Posthorn, Knudsen Printing, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] Used 4-block with SUPERBLY CENTERED stamps and nice champhered-corners rectangular 1907 parcel cancel. Unusually white paper. The upper left stamp has a small spot on it. NK states that used blocks are scarce (the largest known to exist are 6 and 8), and prices used blocks at 50 (FIFTY) times the value of a single stamp -- and NK is conservative! I have not recorded having another example in 45 years. Without the spot, this very scarce block would certainly fetch at least $400 and perhaps more with this centering. |
