1861-66 Issue (Scott 56-78) continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1258   Image3c Scarlet (74). Four neat pen strokes, original gum, vivid bright color, well-centered with unusually wide margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT SCARLET TRIAL PRINTING.

As documented by Jerome S. Wagshal in a series of Chronicle articles (Nos. 56, 60, 61 and 62), Carl F. Rothfuchs, a Washington D.C. stamp dealer, obtained a supply of the 3c Scarlet in 1893 -- probably from the Post Office Department in exchange for his assistance with the Columbian Exposition -- and sold them with pen marks and original gum. This example is particularly well-centered and should be considered desirable with its original gum. Many have faults or perfs in on one or more sides.

1259° og Image5c Red Brown (75). Original gum, gorgeous deep color and proof-like impression, well-centered

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A FRESH SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1862 ISSUE IN THE RED BROWN SHADE -- VERY RARE IN THIS CONDITION.

The 5c Red Brown, issued in early 1862 after the Buff printing, is one of the 1861-66 stamps that challenges collectors who demand choice original-gum examples. Multiples of the Red Brown are extremely rare, with only one recorded original-gum block; therefore, there has never been a supply of blocks from which singles could be harvested. The vast majority of original-gum singles are off-center or faulty.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1862 RED BROWN.

Brookman notes "I consider the used Red Brown to be more scarce than Buff but the Buff is more scarce unused".
