The Unique Used Block of Four Multiples of 2 RBS other than pairs are exceedingly elusive. The largest mint multiples are one strip of three and two blocks of four in private hands. Used multiples are even more difficult, the largest multiple on cover is a strip of four. This block of four is the only known used block! As such also the largest known multiple. The block had been hidden away for about a century in a childhood collection in North-Western Denmark when it came on the market at an auction in 1985. Dr. Gene Scott exhibited it in his collection in Court of Honour at HAFNIA 87, where it was highly appreciated by the spectators and was considered to be the rarest multiple in Danish Philately. Please, see also ”The Full Story” on the following pages. Including Major Variety Thiele 2 RBS from plate II in pos. 1-2 & 11-12, cliché type 1-4 including the major variety with "foot of 2 nearly disjoined". The block has fresh colour and is lightly cancelled. It comes from the top left corner of the sheet and thus the left and top margins probably trimmed by the postal clerk before the sale, which was commonly done. It is mounted in the same type of passe-partout that was used by Gene Scott as well as by Peer Lorentzen. Cert. Lasse Nielsen. Provenance: Gene Scott, multiple Large Gold Peer Lorentzen, National Grand Prix, HAFNIA 2001
