 #5A, 1c Blue, Ty. Ib, horizontal strip of three containing positions 4R1E-6R1E, all three of which are the rare Type 1b, position 6R1E being one of the two
best example positions, full to large margins all around except for a small irregular cut at the bottom of 6R1E, fresh color and a clean impression, lightened pen cancel, small faults including a sealed at the top left of 6R1E, very fine appearance;
a relatively affordable example of an immensely rare strip; conservatively cataloged as three pen-cancelled singles (the used value for a pair and single is $36,000.00). (Image) |

 #6b, 1c Blue, Ty. Ic, position 96R4, "F" relief, a most impressively margined example of this rare and distinctive type, being from position 96R4 which is one of
two positions which produced the best examples of stamps with Ty. Ic characteristics, the bottom ornaments are virtually complete at bottom like the extremely rare Ty. I, but the right plume is partially incomplete, possessing huge and wonderfully
well balanced margins all around, intensely rich color and impression on bright paper which contributes to this stamp's outstanding eye appeal, three neat horizontal pen stokes cancellation, extremely fine; without question this is one of the finest
examples of this rare type we have encountered in quite some time. (Image) |

 #6b, 8, 1c Blue, Ty. Ic and Ty. III combination pair, horizontal pair, positions 47-48L4, the left stamp being Ty. Ic, while the right stamp is Ty. III, an
enormously rare combination that is almost never encountered, with ample to mostly lavishly large margins all around (just touching slightly at bottom of right stamp), wonderfully deep rich color and an outstanding impression on bright paper, very
light and unobtrusive town c.d.s. at bottom center, right stamp with trivial facial rub caused by natural paper inclusion on reverse, the left stamp (Ty. Ic) is a marvelous gem, overall very fine and extraordinarily choice; listed but unpriced in the
Scott Specialized catalogue; ex-Ishikawa (where it was acquired by the consignor for $6,000.00, plus the 10% buyer's premium, in 1993). (Image) |
