Setting a new philatelic world record at the Stanley Gibbons Auction House

On May 11th, the Stanley Gibbons Auction House hosted the ‘India + Area’ signature sale - and set a new world record for a single Indian States stamp.
Following a tense bidding war, the I.F.S Duttia, a 1896 ½a black on blue green, with control handstamp in blue, achieved a sale price of £69,600 - shattering the previous highest price paid for a Duttia of £36,464 in 2006.
The record-breaking stamp featuring the Hindu God Ganesha was part of the collected works of Geoff Rosamond and Peter Kent and made its mark thanks to the unique expertise at Stanley Gibbons.
The collection arrived at our team’s HQ largely unsorted and, after careful research and analysis, the Stanley Gibbons describers and valuers discovered some gems that had gone unrecognised by previous evaluators.

[@StanleyGibbons1856]

Hi there, thank you so much for your comment. We have updated the description to ensure that people are aware that this stamp features the Hindu God Ganesha, not just any elephant. Kind Regards.
