FINE APPEARING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RARE TYPE IA.

The Type Ia stamps were produced from 18 positions in the bottom row of Plate 4. The most distinctive feature of Plate 4 is that the top row was entered with the designs complete at top (Type II), and the bottom row was entered with designs complete or nearly complete at bottom (Types Ia and Ic). This original-gum example is a great rarity.

Ex Ishikawa. With 1960 and 2008 P.F. certificates
