A remarkable group of Vryburg 1899 surcharge issues comprising ½d on green, 1d on rose, 2d on 6d mauve, and 2½d on 2½d blue, each preserved in mint blocks of four. The 2d block displayed some perforation separation, with partial separation also noted on the 2½d block. The lot attracted considerable specialist interest due to the rarity and desirability of these classic South African provisional surcharges. Competitive bidding from collectors and dealers resulted in a strong hammer price.
