275		90c Blue, F. Grill (101). Horizontal pair, original gum, h.r., clearly-defined grills, bright color, faint horizontal crease FINE-VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM MULTIPLE OF THE 1868 90-CENT F GRILL. The largest recorded multiple for this issue is a block of four. Only two or possibly three are known -- it is difficult to know if one is duplicated since the Worthington and Hind catalogues were restricted from having photographs of stamps. We have offered only one in all of our Rarities sales and since keeping computerized records (ex Zoellner), and its centering is similar to the pair offered here, as is the strip of four from the Caspary sale.

A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 90-CENT F GRILL. We have offered approximately a dozen original-gum examples since keeping computerized records, and most either have faults or are off-center.
