EXTREMELY FINE. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS LARGE-FORMAT PROPRIETARY REVENUE ISSUE. SELDOM ENCOUNTERED IN UNUSED, SOUND OR CENTERED CONDITION -- THIS STAMP COMBINES ALL THREE DESIRABLE TRAITS.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THE $1.00 PROPRIETARY ISSUE ON VIOLET PAPER.
Due to its size, this issue is usually found with faults. This sound example, with choice centering, is a true condition rarity.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE RARE $5.00 PROPRIETARY ON VIOLET PAPER. THIS MAY WELL BE THE FINEST USED EXAMPLE IN EXISTENCE. A REMARKABLE STAMP.
According to Introduction to U.S. Revenue Stamps by Richard Friedberg, beginning with the 1871 revenue issues, the government provided for two classes of revenue stamps, one for documentary issues and one for proprietary articles, such as medicines, matches, perfumes, playing cards, canned foods etc. Most examples of the $5.00 have faults, due to the stamp's large size and the nature of its use. The example offered here, in sound condition and with selvage, is probably the finest in existence.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 PROPRIETARY ON GREEN PAPER. ONLY A HANDFUL ARE KNOWN ON THE TRUE GREEN PAPER.
Larry Lyons lists seven used examples in his census. An eighth stamp which was not in the Lyons census realized $32,500 hammer in our Sale 902 (lot 1364). Only two sound copies are believed to exist.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A DESIRABLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT ROULETTED PROPRIETARY ISSUE WITH PART IMPRINT SELVAGE. THIS IS THE FINEST WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.
Several examples of this scarce issue are known unused, but most do not have gum. The example offered here, with full original gum and the part imprint selvage, is truly remarkable.
