faults at upper-right & lower-right, somewhat aged and with a couple of tiny black surface marks but apparently unused, unpriced unused by Gibbons. Unrecorded thus and - if it is actually unused - the only recorded example so it should be rated
RRRRRR. Offered "as is" because we expect that it would not receive a certificate as being 'unused'. Ex Don Pearce: sold for $655 (Sale 247 Lot 598). (Image1)
