AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 50¢ CLIPPER PLATE BLOCK WITH WIDE TOP SELVAGE.
While narrow top margins and wide bottom margins are readily available on the 50¢ China Clipper, plate blocks with wide top margins are few and far between. We cannot recall seeing more than a half dozen in our long career. A footnote in Scott notes that "wide full selvage top plate blocks are extremely scarce and sell for $1,750 or more".
