Page: 42 Prestige Philately - Auction No 145 Jun 13, 2009 Lot Type Grading Description Est $A NEW SOUTH WALES 95 E A/A- Lot 95 1850-51 Sydney Views 1d lithographed essay by Robert Clayton in dull scarlet-vermilion on ungummed unwatermarked pelure paper, horizontal strip of 3 [13-15], margins just clear to good, minor blemishes. Ex "Manwood". [Believed to be the equal record multiple. The other strip of 3 - Ex Slade-Slade - sold for $3910 at our auction of 4/3/2006] 4,000 Lot 96 Lot 97 96 G B - Plate IV Stout Yellowish Vertically Laid Paper 2d ultramarine SG 34 block of 4, margins close to just shaved, minor staining, four light strikes of the Reversed Barred Numeral '6' of St Mary's, Cat £680++++. Ex Victor Frankenstein. A great rarity, this block is considered by some to be one of the highlights of the Frankenstein Collection. (In the catalogue for that sale, the block was erroneously described as being "rebacked", which it is not.) Multiples of the Laid Paper stamps are extremely scarce, and this is probably the largest recorded multiple. There were no multiples in the Slade-Slade, Wiggins, "Espana", White or Rivett-Carnac Collections. Judge Hamilton (1958) had a pair in ultramarine, Dale-Lichtenstein had an unused pair, the "Manwood" Collection included a horizontal strip of 3 in the Prussian blue shade SG 35, and Frankenstein had a pair in Prussian blue (wrongly described as ultramarine). 7,500 PASSION! it’s the key ingredient in “The Prestige Difference”.
