Lot Description

CV or Estimate

2660

1856 "Gauthier Freres et Cie" blue private ship letter stamp, used, with "G.F. & Co." manuscript cancel, four clear to full margins, stamp has several defects of little importance considering its enormous rarity; this stamp was issued in 1856 both in red and blue for use on mail carried privately by the Gauthier Freres steamship company from Havre, France to New York or Rio de Janeiro, both colored stamps are very rare, as only seven copies of the red stamp are recorded, however this is one of only two blue stamps known, the other being on a cover front; according to S. Ringstrom and H.E. Tester in their authoritative work The Private Ship Letter Stamps of the World - Part 2 they described the Gauthier Freres stamps as being "among the rarest in the world"; 2003 PF certificate.
