(Proofs & Essays) 3¢ Red, Type I, Plate Proof on India, Brush Obliteration, 7.5 Rouletting, horizontal pair, margins to just touching, horizontal 7.5 gauge rouletting along bottom through "three cents", fresh and Very Fine; 1965 P.F. Certificate, 1995 Wilson Hulme authentification letter. Scott No. 11P3 var. $2,000+. As part of an investigation into the feasibility of perforation, two sheets of 200 stamps (400 total) from Plate 4 in an 1856 color on India paper were printed. Brush stroke obliterations were added. One sheet of 200 went to W. M. Bemrose & Sons and the other 200 went to Perkins Bacon & Co., who was assisting Toppan Carpenter in purchasing the perforating wheels and overall size of the machine.Somewhere along the way, Bemrose ran their machine and attempted to roulette it. It is not clear why they did so, because the paper was too flimsy for such an operation. One of these lines of rouletting that went along the top margin of the left pane has been known for a number of years. However, there was a second line of rouletting about three quarters of the way down the sheet that was not reported. This pair belongs to that row. The "natural paper crease" as described on the original 1965 P.F. Certificate is actually a line of rouletting, gauging about 7.5 according to Wilson Hulme. Other copies have since been re-constructed showing this rouletting. (Image1)

(Paper Varieties) 3¢ Dull Red, Type I, Silk Paper Variety, ample to large margins, sheet margin and centerline at right, small piece out of bottom right, tied by "Scion N.Y. May 10" cds on light buff cover to Cuba, N.Y.; cover corner faulty, Fine and very interesting and unique silk paper variety. Scott No. 11 var. Estimate $1,000 - 1,500. This stamp shows two distinct blue silk threads on each side of the 'button'. Less visible, but less discernible at two red silk threads to the right of the upper right rosette. This paper is apparently white-wove machine-made paper, the usual used for the printing of the 3¢ 1851-57 issue. According to Dr. Carroll Chase, "Paper is occasionally found that shows a foreign substance embedded in it, but because a really excellent quality was used, this happened but rarely." This stamp is from the left pane of plate 7 in the 1856 deep yellowish rose red shade. (Image1)
