New, Postmaster General, few spots of toning on the reverse of the 2c not affecting the front or the proof, very fine and handsome pair of proofs; Harry New was not Postmaster General when this issue was proposed, Albert S. Burleson was the Postmaster General who approved the designs, accompanying is a photocopy of a letter of Harry New on official stationery dated February 19, 1929 explaining the history of this issue and the origin of these proofs, stating in it that the approved designs were being held in the vaults of the Bureau but that he had ordered five sets to be printed and that was the origin of these proofs, it is interesting to note Brazer lists control number 661396 on a 2c he had seen, which would have been produced in 1913 and would have been on India, whether the 5c exists thus is not known, by virtue of when these were printed they are on wove; a very rare and interesting set; C.A. Huston is presumed to have been the designer; control numbers 158151, 158147 respectively (1929); ex-Livingston. (Image) $8,000.00
