1840 1d black plate 11 (R-E) with four margins (wide at top) tied on May 18th 1841 cover to Cirencester by the usual black Maltese cross, alongside Chalford cds. The stamp with a couple of small disturbances at lower edge and a little yellowed around the edges in general, the cover with tear at left side and small biro strike at bottom, still a relatively clean example of this elusive plate on cover. With 1984 RPS cert. Cat. £16,000.
