| 740 | 1914 De La Rue Colossi of Memnon 10m blue Registered Letter Envelope, the exceedingly scarce first envelope, with English inscriptions only, used to UK from PORT-SAID 18.JA.19. Fresh and sound to the point of perfection! On reverse are 2 1914 5m DLR (paying twice the 5m UK/Empire concession rate), one with corner defect, and 3 good to perfect CDS strikes, with boxed, PORT-SAID registration cachet. Two wax seals tie flap. English portion of CDS 10m vignette not clear. Red London REGISTERED arrival marking, rather unclear, also ties vignette. A very elusive stationery item! (NP SRE1)  | £90.00 |

Wonderfully fresh and well-centred, with a significant unlisted coloured printing flaw on seventh stamp’s top, inner frameline. Large multiples such as this are seldom seen. A treasure for the collector of the Second Issue! (NP D10, cat well over $2200 as blocks of 4 and 4 singles + var.). Detailed CF Hass colour photocert  | £650.00 |

Seven hinge remnants touch 10 stamps, mostly at top edge of block. In the 20-row layout of the forme, which comprised (from the top down) alternating rows of inverted and upright stereos (apart from 4 single stereos), row 15 was apparently placed upright in error, causing 28 stamps on rows 14,15 and 16 to be contiguously upright. NORMAL (ie, non-tête-bêche) BLOCKS ARE RARELY FOUND! As blocks, the cat value far exceeds $1300: a single, hinged block of four upright stamps is $325! (NP D23b/D23d). A stunning multiple!

No mint examples of this rare coil (produced by DLR by guillotining panes into strips of ten and pasting them end-to-end) were known until 2007, when several short strips of varying size turned up in a “joy box” in Wales (before that, only 3 or 4 used examples were known). This lovely and fresh strip is fully sound but for a near-invisible mild vertical crease 2mm in from right-hand edge. A great Fourth Issue rarity (unlisted in NP).
