 9d violet ACSC 25 (SG 27) Plate 1 right pane No Monogram corner strip of 3 ACSC 25(1)za, well-centred, very fresh unmounted, Cat
$35,000+ for mounted. Unique & superb.
It is not often that a unique item is also "best in class", this being superior to any other 9d No Monogram or Monogram strip illustrated in all the auction catalogues we have reviewed. Additionally, both Second Watermark No Monogram strips are
substantially under-catalogued. Although the ACSC does not give details of the examples recorded, the Arthur Gray catalogue (edited by Geoff Kellow, the editor of the ACSC) confirms that each is the only one known. Yet they are priced at less than
the First Watermark strips, of which at least three examples of the left pane are known (see Lot 228 above). Ex Arthur Gray - sold in 2007 for US$32,200 (A$44,700+ at the time) - and Peter O'Rourke; sold in 2020 for $37,600. (Image1) (Image2)
