Lot 40129 – 1920, 10c red-brown, second setting, horizontal strip of four including tête-bêche

1920, 10c red-brown, second setting, horizontal strip of four (disposed sideways), positions 63 to 66, containing a tête-bêche pair in centre, unused without gum as issued. Only the bottom row of the sheet was disposed sideways, displaying at left the printer’s imprint and including eight positions, in contrast with the six positions contained in the other 10 horizontal rows of the sheet; it is estimated that only about 60 sheets were printed, and this is the only tête-bêche variety featured in each of them. Very rare and desirable (Scott $1’000).
