Ceylon 1867-70 8d lake-brown, SG68b Solomon Islands stamps Pierron records only 5 mintCeylon 1867 70 8d lake brown, watermark CC type 6, SG68b. A well centred block of 4 with lovely colour and large part original gum, (lower pair unmounted). Minor gum creasing and upper right stamp with slightly trimmed perforations, but a beautiful and rare block, with most surviving 8d multiples being from the 1863 66 issue (SG 56). A wonderful example of the rare colour variety, which is particularly special in this condition as a block of four.
