1325 O RS234d image#RS234d, Swain, Wm., 8c Orange, watermarked, imperforate, a wonderfully well margined single, margins are large to extra large all around, in addition this stamp possesses excellent appearance with bright deep color, usual light vertical creases and tiny pinhole at left, extremely fine appearance; this stamp is much scarcer than would be expected as there is an imprint strip of seven which is not likely to be broken, available singles are probably less than a dozen and this being one of the finest; ex-Joyce.
