FINE-VERY FINE. THE UNIQUE RECONSTRUCTED BLOCK OF EIGHT OF THE 1856 5-CENT RED BROWN. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASSIC MULTIPLES EXTANT.

This block was originally part of an eleven-stamp multiple, joined with a strip of three at top right. It was affixed to a large piece with single 1c and 3c stamps (the full piece is illustrated in Brookman on page 152). After its appearance in a 1955 H.R. Harmer sale, the strip of three was removed and later the block of eight was separated into two blocks of four. The late Frederick R. Mayer reunited the two blocks while building his classic 5c 1856 Issue collection. As both a block of eleven and a block of eight, this was the largest recorded multiple. The largest used multiples are blocks of six and five (both on cover). Apart from this reconstructed block of eight, there are only five other used blocks of four. The largest unused multiple is the unique block of four.

Ex Filstrup, West, Klein and Mayer. Left block of four with 1991 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail $90,000.00 as two blocks of four (Image)
