Auction #366

1918, Flower issue, 5 k. rose proof block of 25, printed on the back of 4 complete rose cinema tickets 13+2kop. From the small counter pane E of 50, for small post offices, at the bottom of the big printer's sheet of 500 (4x 100 + 2x 50, Hurt/Ojaste, p.18), bottom left corner of the printer's sheet, at the top of the half-pane is part of the gutter between panes C and E. The very weak ink shows that this was an initial mise-en-train proof, the usual 5 kop. proofs on cinema tickets have a much more intense ink color. Vertically folded in the second column of proofs, an exceptional item, signed Nemvalz (Hurt/Ojaste G:2)
