Auction #366

1936, 1940, Päts 6 S., matching corner blocks, bottom left corners, pane C and pane A. The green 6 S. was reprinted in 1940 with the plates used for the printing of the red 6 S. in 1936. The marginal numbers are of the same pointed/eckig font/shape ("6"), indicating that the marginal numbers were not removed when the 1936 printing plate was stored. The red 6 S., issued on March 20, 1936, does not have a printed printing order number at the margin because the printing of printing order numbers was introduced later on, with the 4 S. Päts, printing order date  April 29, 1936. The red 6 S. postage stamp block is in a sheet position matching the proof block in the subsequent lot. The green 6 S. block  shows the printing order date May 17, 1939, mint never hinged, very fine  (Hurt/Ojaste F:1)
