Bothwell paper, the AWESOME and UNIQUE BLOCK OF EIGHTEEN (positions 81-89, 91-99) showing the ENTIRE TWO LINE 'E. & G. BOTHWELL CLUTHA MILLS' WATERMARK, a scintillatingly crisp and fresh MINT MULTIPLE with full colour and original
gum, there are several sensible supports and this is the CORNERSTONE MINT MULTIPLE which is absolutely essential when assembling any INTERNATIONAL LARGE GOLD AWARD-WINNING COLLECTION of Large Queens. This oft-described 'MOST IMPORTANT MINT
MULTIPLE IN CANADIAN PHILATELY' has graced many of the 'storied' collections of the past, including those of Jarrett, Firth, Lees-Jones, Smart, Kennedy, Kanee, 'Lindemann' and Brigham. (Please note that the left vertical pair - positions 81 and 91 -
has been re-attached to its correct original location, as it had previously been incorrectly placed at the other end of the strip when sold or photographed and while in the Firth collection). (Image) (imagea)
