1858, 1 d. milky blue, a remarkable block of six showing types 20-19-20 / 7-17-18 , of great significant as possessor of two substituted transfer types including type 20 in position 18 and transfer 7 in position 16, exhibiting the connection of two transfer blocks, with large margins on three sides, just slightly clipped in small part of two positions at base, this margin being otherwise ample, cancelled by three strikes of ''Trujillo'' straight-line handstamp. Small tear at bottom between fourth and fifth adhesives, two small thins and vertical crease resulting in tiny tear just entering the design of third stamp. Position 16 became damaged and was replaced during the transfer process in each of the probable 8 transfer blocks in the full printing plate by a different cliché; a few other transfers were also substituted in particular positions, these latter ones having a greater degree of rarity in comparison to position 16 on transfer block. A stunning and extremely rare multiple including two substituted transfers of which one not placed in position 16. Cert. Moorhouse. Scott 3.
