Lot 750, Cape of Good Hope #179

Cape of Good Hope 1900 3d deep blue on blue paper General Baden-Powell, small size, unused no gum with rich colour, fine. A lovely example of this elusive mint stamp, printed during the siege of Mafeking. One of very few stamps produced and printed completely through photographic process. The lack of gum has actually preserved the overall freshness of this stamp and the rich colour. Scott CV $1400
