VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 15-CENT TYPE III 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

The largest recorded multiple is a block of four with two known (one has no gum). This is the only original-gum pair of which we are aware.

With 2002 P.F. certificate.
