 #505, 5c Rose error, single error in sheet of
100, an amazing used sheet being the bottom right plate no. 7942
pane of 100, the error stamp being in the second row from the top, position
18, methodically cancelled with "Milwaukee, Wis./Sta. B/Oct 24 1917" duplex
pmks., fortuitously the 5c error stamp is one of the lighter cancelled
stamps, the head being nearly cancel free and showing the 5c denomination
clearly, excellent sumptuous rose color, few minor perf. separations and
and an unapparent surface thin on the selvage by the right plate number,
overall the sheet is well centered and the error stamp is nearly very fine;
the famous error of the three incorrect 5c transfers in plate 7942 was
discovered quite quickly after the sheets reached the post offices,
therefore most were sought out by collectors and were saved as mint stamps,
usually in blocks of nine or twelve, only a few were inadvertently or
philatelicly used, it is not known whether this sheet, which does not have
gum, was used on a parcel or possibly for accounting purposes by the
Milwaukee post office, but it is used contemporaneously and there is no
evidence of philatelic inspiration, we believe this to be unique as a
used sheet; a wonderful exhibition piece.

 #514, 15c Gray, interesting single franking on
legal-size registered return-receipt cover to Russia during the Russian
revolution, Henry J. Schnitzer corner card and stamp tied by oval of New
York, N.Y. Hudson Terminal Station with that station's registry c.d.s. of
origin on the reverse, November 15, 1917 earliest documented usage
with New York Foreign Office ovals of the same date, censor tape at right,
Moscow transit and backstamped Boldova Pena, its destination, however
apparently the recipient could not be found because of the turmoil in
Russia and it was returned, arriving back in New York eleven months later,
aging around the edges but cover remarkably well preserved considering its
travels, fine; a fascinating cover for this earliest documented usage; 2000
APS certificate; ex-"Alpha". (Image) |
