Description
1933 3d blue mint block of six (2 x 3) watermark upright, with the lower pair showing virtually complete omission of vignette, large part o.g. with the lower four stamps unmounted. The shading in the sky belongs to the frame; the only parts of the vignette which have printed are the small darker patches between the centre of the stamps and the right frame. Spectacular and very rare in its own right, with just three total omissions known. SG 45c
