Missing Inverted Jenny Stamp Found

It appears that the missing position 32 Inverted Jenny stamp has been found in the British Library collection. A picture of the stamp showed up in the August 2007 issue of the British Library Philatelic Collections Newsletter. Ken Lawrence, a member of the APS Library Board of Trustees, noticed the picture and identified the position, as reported in this post at the Virtual Stamp Club. There are two still-missing positions (from a stolen block of 4) that belong to the APS. For this reason, Mr. Lawrence studies every inverted Jenny that appears closely.
This is the second missing Jenny to show up within the last few months. The previous find was position 38 (I think…if anyone knows different please correct me here), which was auctioned in May by the Siegel Auction Galleries.
At any rate, any long time reader of this blog will know that I just love an excuse to show an inverted Jenny here, so I was delighted to happen across Ken’s post on VSC this morning. I really need to do better about keeping up over there, as this was posted back in September!
