Okay I have plenty of the complete set, but blocks are rather scarce - I snagged these for a whopping $1.54

Who knows I may find some rare watermarks are some nice constant varieties.

The blocks arrived yesterday, and it turns out the 10c is the inverted watermark variety!

It is not listed in Scott Catalogue, the normal stamp is #8. I believe it is listed in Gibbons as 7a or 7w or something like that - hopefully someone can confirm this?

I used PostmasterGS "Watermark Extraction Technique" in this thread:

This stamp proved very difficult to scan, but I was able to see part of the watermark by scanning the reverse. You can see the CA just above the woman's head.



Here is what the full watermark looks like:
