30236 32 (13) image1874, 6 sen violet brown, syllabic 13 (wa), radiant colour and crisp impression, original gum with light hinge remnant. Light gum crease only mentioned for accuracy and in no way detracting from this rarity. Cert. Florian Eichhorn BPP (2023). Only about a dozen of 6 sen syllabic 13 are believed to exist in unused condition. (JSCA ¥2,500,000; Michel €22,000). Note: A similar example, presumably emanating from the same horizontal row and also showing part of the frame line of a neighbouring stamp at base, was part of the Dr. Soichi Ichida collection and illustrated in his 1965 handbook on page 229. Provenance: Captain E. J. Allen (Robson Lowe London, 24.9.1958, lot 315)(Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
