116   Image90c Carmine & Black (122). Tied by "N. York Steamship Apr. 1" (circa 1870) circular datestamp on piece of its original cover, deep rich colors, stamp lifted for examination and hinged in place, negligible small scrape and thin spot

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE GENUINELY USED ON A PIECE OF ITS ORIGINAL COVER. THERE IS ONLY ONE DOCUMENTED FULL COVER -- THE CELEBRATED "ICE HOUSE" COVER -- WHICH WAS SOLD BY OUR FIRM IN 2009 FOR $375,000 HAMMER.

This is the only 90c 1869 certified as genuinely used on piece. The N. York Steamship” datestamp was usually applied to letters originating in South or Central America or the Caribbean and received from contract steamships, to which the standard 10c per half ounce rate applied. There are rare examples of the same marking used on outbound steamship mail. The April 1 date on this piece is probably from 1870 (if 1869, it would be the earliest recorded use of the 90c 1869).

117   Image90c Carmine & Black (122). Horizontal strip of three, deep rich colors, bold roller cancel, left stamp light vertical crease, center stamp tiny thin spot at bottom of grill, right stamp thins at top and a sealed tear at bottom right

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED MULTIPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE.

Multiples of the 90c are extremely rare. Only seven used blocks of four are recorded, and the largest recorded multiple is a strip of seven. Very few multiples were used, due to the stamps' high denomination and brief period of use. Subsequent collector demand resulted in the reduction of many multiples to singles.

With 2006 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as pair and single (Image)

120   Image90c Carmine & Black (122). Vignette shifted dramatically down and to the right, perforations cause wide margin at top (this must be from the top of the sheet) which causes both frame and vignette to go outside the boundary of the perfs at bottom, cork cancel, small thin spot at top, light diagonal crease at bottom left, still a very unusual and desirable example of the 90c, two small backstamps (Image)
