ONE PENNY RED COMB PERF SMOOTH PAPER: 1d carmine interpanneau strip of 12 with 'CA' and 'CA' Substituted for 'JBC' Monograms BW #71(2)zh, most units well centred, very fresh and unmounted, Cat $50,000. A unique and important item. Ex Alan Davidson and Tony Finlayson: acquired at the Prestige auction of 12/5/2007 for $21,850.
