VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE ST. LOUIS "BEARS" 5-CENT PROVISIONAL ON PELURE PAPER.

A survey of our Levi records and auction catalogues produced a tally of approximately 35 examples of the 5c Pelure off and on cover. The vast majority of these stamps has faults or margins cutting into the design.

Type III, Position 6, ample margins on three sides and just shaved along outer frameline at top, deep impression on fresh paper, accompanying certificate states "faintly cancelled" but we cannot detect any evidence of a cancellation (faint or removed) in fluid, under magnification or with a UV lamp -- uncancelled examples of St. Louis "Bears" are known, and this might be one of them -- essentially sound with a trace of a tiny wrinkle/crease at the bottom center, which only "flashes" when drying

A REMARKABLE CORNER SHEET-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE RARE ST. LOUIS "BEARS" 10-CENT PROVISIONAL ON PELURE PAPER.

A survey of our Levi records and auction catalogues produced a tally of approximately 35 examples of the 10c Pelure off and on cover. The vast majority of these stamps has faults or margins cutting into the design. The stamp offered here is extraordinary as a full corner sheet-margin example, and its appearance could be vastly improved with some skillful restoration of the defect at bottom.
