Though well known, this example is apparently not included in the census. It was purchased by Hennok in 1986 for more than £3,000 at the Cavendish Auction of the Dr. M. Carstairs collection. At the time it was the only known example. Included with the stamp is a 1959 letter from Alfred Whitehead to Dr. Carstairs, in which Whitehead expresses his desire to acquire the stamp, the only one known at the time, from Carstairs.
