Australia Queensland 1860-61 "REGISTERED" (6d) orange-yellow, watermark small star, rough perforations 14-16, SG20.
A well-centred mint block of 4 with brilliant original gum (lower pair unmounted mint). A lovely quality block of this attractive early Victorian stamp.
A rarity as a multiple in such fine condition.
Provenance: ex Marcel Stanley.
Note: Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony on 10 December 1859, but continued to use New South Wales stamps until 1 November 1860. As you would expect for a colony named after the Queen, all the early issues featured Queen Victoria.
