This large used partial sheet of 54 is the largest known multiple mint or used. Historically this block plus the second largest multiple of 40 of the top portion of the sheet (see next lot) are very important as they make the plating of setting 6 possible. This is a wonderful exhibition piece and one of the most important of classic Nepal's rarities known; ex-Haverbeck (Scott #11, a; $21,600.00+; S.G. #35, a; £18,900*; catalog values are for 54 used singles, the rare tete-beche pair being unpriced in Scott and Stanley Gibbons).

Together with the above block of 54 above they make the only possible complete reconstruction of setting 6. Perhaps of even more significance is the adjacent inverted cliches in positions 6-7 that make a block of four possible with two tete-beche pairs. This is to our knowledge the only known multiple with this unique block. A very handsome block for exhibition purposes; ex-Haverbeck(Image)

Hellrigl #36, a, 1917-30 1a Emerald error of color on native paper, imperforate, complete sheet of 64, setting 27, state 2, this is an early printing of this second state before the major plate flaw of a wide cut in the left frame of position 10 occurred, neatly cancelled by Birganj telegraph cancels in each block of four, ample to large full selvages all around, this setting is characterized by nine inverted cliches in positions 15, 18, 23, 27, 37,40-41, 51 and 64, attractive color, the native paper is thin and has the usual paper flaws of this inferior quality paper, otherwise very fine sheet of this error of color rarity.This is the ultimate multiple of the Emerald Error of Color where only 300-350 examples are estimated to exist. This is at most one of two sheets known that possibly exist. Hellrigl reported only one sheet in the Skinner collection, but this collector believes this to be a different sheet that was quite likely the one sent by Stoney to Smythies in 1946 as reported PJI; certainly a great rarity and worthy of exhibition in the finest collections of Nepal; 1984 Holcombe certificate (Scott #23,a var.; S.G.#26b, ba; £27,400+).
