U213 var., UPSS #636 |
 #U213 var., 90c Carmine on cream, die 70, size
25, knife 122, wmk. 2, large mint "Centennial" entire in the enormously
rare size 25, a wonderfully well preserved example, particularly for an
entire of this size, strong color and embossing on fresh paper, vertical
printed return instructions at far left, very fine and choice; any #U213
mint entire is rare, but it is believed that only three entires exist in
this size, and the UPSS catalog prices this variety at twice that of
the normal size 21 ($6,000.00 versus $3,000.00); an important entire for
the serious stationery specialist; signed William H. Maisel; ex-Mason
and Barkhausen (UPSS #636). (Image) |
