EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED MULTIPLES OF THE EAST RIVER POST OFFICE "18 AVE. D" STAMP. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS SCARCE AND DISTINCTIVE STAMP, WITH ITS ILLUSTRATION OF A SIDEWHEEL SAILING VESSEL.

This pair was not listed in any of the auctions or photo records we consulted when preparing the Golden sale catalogue. In that sale, the ex-Caspary/Boker pair was described (as it always has been) as the only recorded multiple and realized $4,000 hammer. The pair offered here was acquired by the Halls from Charles J. Phillips in the 1920's.
