This premium philatelic pairing offers two mint plate blocks of six from Scott C10, the iconic 1927 Lindbergh Airmail issue. Celebrated for its engraved portrait of the Spirit of St. Louis, this stamp remains a top acquisition for collectors of early U.S. airmail, classic BEP intaglio work, and aviation-themed postal history.
What sets this offering apart is the presence of consecutive plate numbers—18999 and 19000—a standout combination rarely encountered in surviving multiples. Collectors who specialize in plate blocks, Back-of-Book airmail issues, or early transatlantic flight commemoratives will immediately recognize the appeal. Both blocks show strong color, full original selvage, and well-formed perforations, making them highly desirable for advanced albums or long-term philatelic investment.
