U227a |
 #U227a, 2c Brown on white, error of color, die
73, size 10, knife 54, wmk. 6, an extraordinarily rare mint entire of this
color error, with a most unusual and striking double impression of a
hardware anvil printed return corner card at top left, some slight soiling,
very fine; terribly undercataloged in our opinion, as none of the great
postal stationery collections we have had the privilege to sell over the
last few years had a single example (entire or cut square), even the famous
Lilly collection did not have an example; ex-Barkhausen (UPSS
#651A). (Image) |
