1858/69: 2 d. blue, plate 13, an outstanding block of 23, lettered GH-GL/HG-HL/IG-IL/JG-JL, with all stamps cancelled by single ring WEDNESBURY datestamps (Oct 2, 1871) in black. A few negligible blunt perforations mentioned for complete accuracy and some perforations split, but a remarkable and extremely rare multiple, almost certainly one of the largest extant. Provenance: 'Victoria' (1975).
