Offered is an unusual block of 4 of the 1891-93-issued 1d rose (die III), wmk 12b, mixed perf 12×11-1/2, brown-red advert (3rd setting), SG207a. Already a scarce issue, this multiple is not only very appealing, but a rare bird indeed. Although bearing some creases, this fine used multiple of the advertising issue not only represents an interesting piece of Commonwealth philatellics, but also a fantastic example of this ultimately unsuccessful venture.
