Lot 16 Canada #4 1852 3d red Beaver Block of Four, used, with two light 4-ring #21 cancels from Montreal. Margins are large (showing parts of next stamp at bottom left) to just into at top right and bottom right. The stamps are from positions 77/78 and 87/88. A very rare block, and catalogue value is irrelevant. Ex. Cantor. Estimate $2000, sold for $2600 plus buyer’s premium.
