1930 5c Olive Brown Air Mail, a mint never hinged plate 1 block of six, showing the reversed 1 in the left margin, middle row, fine-very fine. Only one of these appeared in every sheet of 200, in the upper left pane of 50. Some sheets had wide margins and some narrower, and we are aware of only 3 plate blocks of 6, with only one having a wide margin, as many of the plate sheets were overprinted for the Imperial Economic Conference issue.
