145 og Image15c Brown & Blue, Re-Issue (129). Horizontal pair, original gum, h.r., deep rich colors and detailed impressions, on the left stamp the vignette is shifted to the right, on the right stamp the vignette is shifted to the left, which indicates the transfers were misaligned when the plate was made

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 15-CENT TYPE III 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

The largest recorded multiple is a block of four with two known (one has no gum). This is the only original-gum pair we are aware of.

With 2002 P.F. certificate. Scott Catalogue assigns almost an 8-times premium for the block -- $42,500.00 as a block, $5,400.00 as four singles, the original-gum block realized $43,125 in our 2015 Hall sale -- so the catalogue value of $2,700.00 as two singles does not adequately reflect its rarity.

VERY FINE. A RARE AND STRIKING 90-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE WITH SELVAGE AT TOP.

A review with Power Search failed to find another stamp with attached selvage among 278 examples we have offered since 1993 and in Rarities sales since 1966. The only other with selvage we are aware of is the incomparable imprint and plate number block of ten.

154   Image15c Brown & Blue, Re-Issue (129). Vertical pair, neat target cancels and trace of blue crayon registry marking on top stamp, rich frame color and intense vignette impression on bright white paper

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THE ONLY RECORDED USED PAIR OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE. NO OTHER USED MULTIPLES ARE KNOWN.

This pair is part of a "set" of bicolor 1869 Re-issue pairs -- 15c, 24c, 30c and 90c values -- each cancelled by targets. The 15c and 24c, both vertical pairs, also have portions of blue crayon strokes applied, similar to registered mail passing through the British post office. The existence of this set was revealed in an article by Scott R. Trepel (Chronicle 127). It is believed that the four pairs were originally used on one or more pieces of registered mail addressed to the English stamp collector, Sir Nicholas Waterhouse, from whose collection the four pairs originated.
