Year 1934, cinderella of 10c. commemorating French aviator Jean Mermoz, issued by the Post at the request of the Embassy of France, to collect funds for a monument built in Buenos Aires to honor this pilot. COMPLETE SHEET OF 100 examples, unmounted, excellent and perfect (with 2 creases along perforation) as the day it was printed. It was part of a recent find of a number of similar sheets with consecutive numbers found in the estate of an old French millionaire who passed away many years ago in Argentina, who wanted to contribute to the project when this cinderella was issued and thus bought thousands of stamps. Very interesting, catalog value US$200 + 50% (MNH) (Image)
