Lot 260 Canada (C) #CE1 16c Bright Ultramarine Trans-Canada Airplane, 1942-1943 Airmail Special Delivery Issue, A VFOG Single, Perf 11.95, Showing Ink Drag/Spatter Flaw

A VFOG single of the 16c bright ultramarine Trans-Canada Airplane from the 1942-1943 Airmail Special Delivery Issue, perf 11.95, showing ink drag/spatter flaw.

This appears to have been a travelling flaw, based on it appearing on 3 stamps in a corner block. On this example, it almost looks like there is a second '1' in the left margin.
