Unused block of 16 with sheet margins at left & top. Unused no gum. Color is severely faded which unfortunately is common on this issue. Much scarcer then 1888 issue. 4 stamps affected by a center crease along with perf seps and other small faults. Has some toning which affects several stamps. Still a scarce and desireable block. Cats over $8000 just for singles. Nice ying & yang watermark. These were printed in sheets of containing 2 panes of 20.
Just pu...rchased a large lot of China. Will be starting all of these off at 99 cents with no reserve & free shipping. Please check back often as I will be adding new auctions from this lot almost every day.
