both with straight perf variety. VF-F.
24cd. rose red variety imperforate between vertical pair, each neatly cancelled by Tientsin seal type X in blue, each struck sideways. Exceptionally fresh and fine, bright color and a magnificent example of this popular, high value variety.This variety occurred on three sheets, but we have records of only 5 used pairs and 14 unused pairs. This is one of the 5 pairs used surviving. It is though that this pair came from pane 3 and joins a similarly cancelled pair which has the right interpanneau margin. Ex Lam Man Yim (Spink Jan 2019 lot 671, hammer price sold at HK$180,000)
