A spectacular mint pair with sheet margin at top (Positions 1 & 3), exceptionally fresh and well centered, showing the HORIZONTAL (5c) RED LAKE handstamp (Type D) in violet, full original gum, NEVER HINGED. Our research leads us to the conclusion that only one sheet was printed of this stamp, these being the sole surviving mint examples. A great addition to a serious collection, VF NH (Unitrade CL21bi) AMONG THE RAREST AIRMAIL STAMPS ISSUED BY THE PATRICIA AIRWAYS & EXPLORATION LIMITED. APART FROM THE STUNNING MINT PAIR, ONLY A FEW ARE KNOWN AND TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, ALL ARE USED ON FIRST FLIGHT COVERS. (Image)
