THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED INTACT BOOKLET PANE OF THIS ROTARY PRESS2c Carmine, Perf 10, Booklet Pane of Six (583a). Position H, showing clear and full vertical guideline at right, two stamps h.r., brilliant color, choice centering

VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED INTACT BOOKLET PANE OF THIS ROTARY PRESS PRINTING TO SHOW THE GUIDELINE. ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITIES OF TWENTIETH CENTURY BOOKLET PANE COLLECTING.

In an article in United States Specialist in December 1990, Gary Griffith discusses this booklet variety in great detail. As the Bureau transitioned from flat plate to rotary press printings, two plates of 360 subjects were made for printing booklets. These first two plates were laid out with guidelines and with plate numbers in the corners. Every other rotary press plate produced, whether for booklets or regular issues, was made without guidelines, since they were no longer necessary for production.

The existence of this rare variety was known relatively early, and proofs exist in the Smithsonian, but an actual pane was not discovered until 1960 when Thomas F. Bristol, a collector, discovered it in a dealer's stock. He found two in the stock, but the dealer retained one that was subsequently stolen in the early 1960's and has never been recovered. Three singles on cover are also recorded (see lots XX and XX for two of these).

Ex Bristol and Silverman where it realized $17,600. Accompanied by copies of BIA articles. With 1993 P.F. certificate. Unlisted in Scott. (Image)
