 Y The only recorded unused block of four of Norway's first stamp. The block has partial gum and is from sheet positions C 6-7/16-17. It has normal to good margins on all sides. The block has a small repair on the back, but this is of no importance to a rarity like this. The block has been a part of the collections of Justus Andersen, Arnstein Berntsen, Stig Ljungren, Per Fossum, Pieter Ahl and Bernt Fossum, and is one of the greatest showpieces of Norwegian Philately. Certificate: F.C.Moldenhauer 1984 and 1997.
