The Wagshal Collection Part 4: Perforated One-Cent 1857-60 Issue continued...

Positions 41/51L12, C/B Reliefs, vertical pair with full "Toppan Carpenter & Co. Philadelphia" Second Type imprint and "No. 12.P." plate number in selvage at left, top stamp Type I, bottom stamp Type II, original gum, tear in selvage only at upper left, top stamp tiny thin spots

FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR SHOWING THE COMPLETE IMPRINT FROM THE LEFT PANE OF PLATE TWELVE. A WONDERFUL SHOWPIECE.

For Plates 11 and 12, the style and placement of the imprint was altered from previous 1c plates. The Second Type imprint with negative lettering and "Toppan Carpenter & Co." was first used in June 1860 on the 12c Plate 3, followed shortly after by its use on the 30c and 90c plates made during the summer of 1860. Its next use was on the 1c Plate 11, probably toward the end of 1860. Casilear's name, which appeared in the imprint on earlier plates, even after he had retired, was omitted from the new Second Type imprint. The use of this imprint and the reversion to a 3-subject transfer roll (and absence of significant relief trimming) have led specialists to theorize that Plates 11 and 12 were made by different engravers than the ones who made Plates 4 through 10.
