Los 272
1936, Päts 4 S., block and strip of postage stamps with the first printing order T.262, from panes C and D. The register cross of the block of four (pane C) is an unusual variety, without a hole, similar to the imperforate proofs in the preceding lot. This type of register cross, with two bars of equal length, is a perforation register mark, not a printing register mark (for printing different colors) or a cutting register mark. The block of four is not perforated at the left, while the strip of three is perforated at the left. Both the block of four (pane C) and the strip of 3 (pane D) have the same plate error in pos.91 (white error, outer frame indented at bottom right), indicating that the intermediate cliché of 1x 100 stamp images must have contained already this plate error, which was then replicated four times into the clichés of the four counter panes. The block of four is slightly toned, mint never hinged, fine/very fine (Hurt/Ojaste F:1)
