A very rare and desirable set. S.G. 1-16, £25,000Note: This lot is accompanied by two letters of provenance. The first from Urch, Harris gives the history of this set, being one of three purchased on the day of issue by the rector and the doctor. Shortly after this the postmaster was instructed not to sell any more mint stamps in order to protect the small stock from the ravages of philatelists. He was free to apply these stamps on mail posted at his office. The second letter is from the then owner to Harmers of London, prior to their sale by auction (Image1)
