Canada #218b 2c Brown King George V Booklet Pane of 6, A Very Fine NH Example, Cream Gum, Vertical Wove
A fresh and very fine centered NH booklet pane of 6 of the 2c brown King George V stamp from the 1935-37 Dated Die Issue. Printed on soft vertical wove paper with no visible mesh, and with crackly cream gum that has a semi-gloss sheen. Scarce, as only 124,100 booklets of 2 panes were issued, resulting in a maximum of 248,200 panes that could ever have existed. There is a small spot of gum disturbance affecting the upper right stamp, so we are estimating this as a hinged pane, even though it is NH.
