A FINE APPEARING AND RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 24-CENT VIOLET ON THIN PAPER WITH THE COLOR BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED.
The 24c 1861 exists in four basic shades of Violet: Dark Violet (August 1861 trial printing, formerly Scott 60); Violet on Thin Paper (August-September 1861 regular issue, Scott 70c -- the shade offered here); Pale Gray Violet (1861 regular issue, Scott 70d) and Blackish Violet (ca. 1863 printing, Scott 78c). All four are rare, especially in original-gum condition.

VERY GOOD-FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 90-CENT 1861 ISSUE.
Less than ten blocks of four are recorded. Most are centered left as the block offered here. A block of eight was offered in the Caspary sale, with similar centering, and this may have come from the same sheet.

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1861 ISSUE.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1863 2-CENT BLACK JACK.
Most blocks with Mint N.H. stamps have been broken to feed collector demand for singles. We doubt this block will remain intact for much longer.
