VERY FINE. A RARE AND DESIRABLE PLATE NUMBER BOOKLET PANE OF THE 2-CENT SHIELD ISSUE WITH HORIZONTAL WATERMARK.
As described in U.S. Booklets and Booklet Panes (p. 52), during late December 1906 to January 1907, sheets from eight plates were printed using horizontally watermarked paper, delivered in error by the manufacturer, rather than the normal vertically watermarked paper. Other than the early 360 subject plates for No. 279Bj-k, this is the only U.S. booklet pane known on horizontally watermarked paper (Image)

A RARE CAPTURED LEFT ARROW BOOKLET PANE OF THE 2-CENT TYPE I SHIELD.
In perforating and cutting the panes, the entire left, right and bottom arrows were normally cut off, with only the top arrow partly appearing on the issued booklet panes (Positions B and C). This rare variety occurred due to a misalignment of the paper with the cutting blades (Image)
