J. E. Hetherington, 3c Black, Watermarked, Imperforate Pair (RS121di). Large margins all around, crisp impression on fresh paper, completely soundEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB AND THE ONLY SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE J.E. HETHERINGTON 3-CENT IMPERFORATE PAIR WE HAVE OFFERED IN AT LEAST THE LAST 25 YEARS.
This attractive design for "Tropic Fruit Laxative" is very scarce as an imperforate pair. Since keeping computerized records in 1993, we have offered only four other pairs and each had a small fault. Only 23 are recorded in the Aldrich book and this is one of the finest extant.
