2c Pink, Vertical Pair, Imperforate Horizontally (248a). Original gum, lightly hinged, fresh, bright color, small and faint corner crease at bottom right

FINE. A VERY IMPORTANT 1894 BUREAU ISSUE RARITY.

Reportedly there are only eight pairs and one block of four in all conditions. We can not recall ever seeing any on the auction market . The last time we offered a pair was in our 1965 Rarity Sale some 44 years ago (we will offer examples in our forthcoming "Whitpain" sale). With 1980 and 2001 P.F. certificates.
