The Henry Tolman II Collection of United States Revenues, Part Four continued...

Revenue Group Lots
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2480   First Issue Revenues, Imperforate. Collection of more than 200 stamps on pages, about 50 different issues represented, many with large to huge or huge margins all around, some plate varieties, page of 2c Bank Check, Blue with handstamped cancels (some in red), similarly 2c Certificate, Blue (no reds), two pages of mixed values to $10.00, nearly all with attractive handstamp cancels or large margins, as usual there are a few questionable stamps that may have been produced by trimming perforated stamps, thus our estimate has been adjusted accordingly, overall Fine-Very Fine with many in the higher grade and a surprising number of Extremely Fine Gems or Extremely Fine appearing, careful inspection recommended E. 2,000-3,000

SOLD for $5,000.00
Will close during Public Auction
2481   First Issue Revenues, Imperforate Multiples. Over 50 items on pages, pairs, strips and four blocks, better incl. 15c Inland Exchange strip of three, 20c Inland Exchange block of four, 25c Entry of Goods block of four, 50c Original Process strip of six and $20.00 Conveyance pair, few handstamp cancels, generally Fine-Very Fine, very attractive lot 7,354.50

SOLD for $2,900.00
Will close during Public Auction
2482   First Issue Revenues, Part Perforated. Approximately 150 stamps incl. essentially complete collection of 43 different on pages, some handstamped cancels, two additional pages of cancels and varieties, followed by an impressive selection of multiples with two 1c Express (horizontal and vertical pairs), several 2c Bank Check Blue, 5c Express two pairs, strips of three and four, 10c Power of Attorney vertical strip of five, 20c Inland Exchange vertical strip of four, blocks of four of 25c Certificate, 40c Inland Exchange and 50c Surety Bond, vertical pairs of 50c Entry of Goods and Mortgage and other items of interest, these are very difficult First Issue varieties that can be made from imperfs (in a few cases) and perforated (many), the other problem is the fact that many perforated sheets were manufactured imperforate between stamps and selvage, so a single with a huge margin on one side and ample on the other does not guarantee genuineness, Mr. Tolman was a knowledgeable collector and was no doubt cautious when acquiring these stamps, still there are items of questionable authenticity in the collection, we have tempered our estimate with that fact in mind, generally Fine-Very Fine, adventurous lot E. 3,000-4,000

SOLD for $3,250.00
Will close during Public Auction
2483   First Issue Revenues, Perforated. A few hundred stamps jam-packed on album pages, includes a nearly complete collection (lacking only five stamps), many with original gum or unused (no gum), wide variety of handstamped cancels, a few Ultramarine shades incl. 2c Proprietary and $15.00 Mortgage, a number of strips and blocks (some with original gum), used block of 30 of the 1c Proprietary, extensive study of cancels with some printed and many beautifully struck fancy handstamps incl. three examples of 3c Proprietary with "Brady" (famed Civil War photographer), cancels by occupations (some on documents), U.S. postage with revenue cancels, shade studies, unlisted sewing machine perfs and more, many Extremely Fine and very few less than Fine-Very Fine, this is a wonderful lot for the First Issue specialist, containing numerous unused Gem stamps which are worth far more than Scott values, the cancels are even more outstanding and carry huge premiums over catalogue value E. 5,000-7,500

SOLD for $6,500.00
Will close during Public Auction
2484   25c and 50c First Issue Perforated. 22 stamps, several different, on both sides of a Sun Mutual Insurance Co. Transit Insurance Policy made out to Steinway & Sons, the famous Piano Manufacturers, the revenues were added each time additional premiums were paid, the policy lists a record of ship names and destinations for piano shipments, some splitting along folds, very unusual and desirable historical record of this well-known New York City firm E. 300-400

SOLD for $425.00
Will close during Public Auction
2485   First Issue Revenues, Perforated, Double Transfers. Approximately 40 stamps, variety of denominations, both listed and unlisted, also page of Extra Frame Lines, page of Re-Entry on 5c Foreign and inland Exchange, about 90 stamps with Extra Perforations with values to $15.00, over 30 Defective Printings (foldovers, perf shifts, etc.), "Odd Perforations" with several "sawtooth" types and some attractive cancels, quality varies somewhat, mostly Fine-Very Fine E. 400-500

SOLD for $1,200.00

2486   First Issue Revenues, Insurance Cancellations. Fabulous mounted collection in fifteen three-ring binders, 2c-$1.00 stamps arranged alphabetically by company name, incl. off-document, on checks, documents and stock certificates, all accompanied by reproductions of the cancels and lists of values known with each cancel and historical data where appropriate, quite a few of pages for companies in the binders do not have stamps but do have reproductions of the cancels, the entire collection can be the basis for a catalog or checklist but almost assuredly is not complete so further research is in order, complete or not, the late Mr. Tolman deserves a "job well done" for this one E. 1,000-1,500

SOLD for $15,500.00
Will close during Public Auction
2487   First Issue Revenues, Plate Cracks. Nearly 30 items on pages, all perforated, incl. listed and some that Mr. Tolman has marked "Unlisted", values to $2.00, generally Fine-Very Fine, nice lot for the specialist E. 200-300

SOLD for $450.00

(lacking suffix letter), incl. 4c Proprietary and 5c Agreement imprint and plate no. blocks of ten, also three pages with stamps showing part imprints, these are virtually all where there is a large margin on one side to show the imprint, several better values included, very mixed condition, a very scarce and desirable lot nevertheless E. 500-750

SOLD for $1,700.00
Will close during Public Auction
