BRITISH EAST AFRICA 1895 SG56 Mint

Stock Code: P201006042

1895-96 6a pale brown, type 8 opt on India, block of ten (5x2) from lower left corner of upper right (8x10) pane of an original sheet of 320, showing part interpane inscription "ONE QUART(ER SHEET) at left and full interpane arabesques below, o.g. (lower row unmounted). A little toned (mainly on reverse), with some marginal separation, nevertheless a spectacular and unique positional multiple, the largest recorded of this value. Ex Minns, with detailed description on p.84 of the 2002 EASC "Zanzibar" handbook, explaining that the 8x10 format of the 6a value meant that only eight columns of the 12x10 setting for the other values could be used for each pane. Columns 1-8 were applied to right panes (as here), but columns 5-12 to left panes. An important and desirable proving piece.
