744 O RO129a Image#RO129a, John J. Macklin & Co., 1c Black, rouletted, an incredible match stamp rarity, this stamp was printed by the American Phototype Co. in violation of the contract of Butler & Carpenter to produce private die proprietary stamps (American Phototype had a contract to produce wrappers not adhesive stamps), a controversy ensued between Macklin and Butler & Carpenter who considered the stamps that had been produced to be "a wretched piece of work and affords no guarantee against counterfeiting whatever", in fact counterfeits have been produced to defraud the collector not the government, evidently few of the genuine stamps were produced and the real quantity of genuine examples is very small, it is hard to know how many have survived as the few recorded in surveys may have included facsimiles as well as the real stamp, our guess is that there are a total of less than six genuine examples known, another factor that is not included in the Scott listing is that there are two papers on which this stamp is found, a thin white paper and this stamp which is on a thin yellowish tissue paper as was used for match wrappers which the American Phototype company normally produced, this is the only known example on this paper, small thin spot and light creases as would be expected on this fragile paper and these are actually very minor, otherwise very fine and one of the highlights of the Frank L. Himpsl collection; 1991 PF certificate; ex-Col. Green and Joyce. (Image) $10,000.00

750 O RO149a Image#RO149a, V.R.
