SOUTH AFRICA 1930 SGO19 Official

Official. 1930-47 2s6d "Dull blue and chocolate", SG type O2 opt with 20mm space, block of six (2x3), neatly used with two strikes of PRETORIA cds, clearly dated "23 APR 47", confirming that it must come from one of the two small printings in 1946 (Set 20 or 20A) which were unlisted in the Union Handbook. The bottom pair with unobtrusive faults, but the upper block fine. A very interesting multiple for the specialist. Ex Matheson. (cat £330+). [Union Handbook unlisted, pre-dating Set 21, which only appeared in Nov 1947] - P212002746
