THREEPENCE: KGVI 3d scarlet Coil Perf (Large & Small Holes) two coil strips of 3 from the base of the sheets rejoined to create an Authority Imprint block of 6! Extraordinary, and probably unique!

It is clearly from a different sheet than the item illustrated in the ACSC at page 6/146]
ONE SHILLING HALFPENNY: KGVI 1/0½d deep grey-blue L/R corner block of 4, the last unit with a Large Void Area caused by a stray scrap of paper, that is hinged in place in the margin, a trifle aged. Unrecorded in the ACSC.
