VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ALEXANDER'S ONE-CENT BLUE ON SILK PAPER. ONLY 13 ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST AND MOST ARE DEFECTIVE.
The Aldrich census records only 13 examples of this Match stamp rarity. All but one have faults and many are defective and repaired. Two of the three others we have previously sold are repaired with perfs into the design, and the other had central thinning.

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE AMERICAN MATCH CO. ROCK ISLAND PRIVATE DIE STAMP. ONLY TWELVE EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED IN THE ALDRICH CENSUS AND AT LEAST NINE ARE FAULTY TO SOME DEGREE.
Of the twelve examples recorded in the Aldrich book, only three are potentially sound. We offered one in our Sale 1067, but the perfs are into the design on two sides.

FINE APPEARANCE. A PARTICULARLY CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE EXTREMELY RARE ONE-CENT BARBER MATCH CO. ROULETTED ISSUE. ONLY NINE ARE RECORDED IN THE ALDRICH CENSUS.
This issue is frequently counterfeited, as the supply of regularly perforated 1c watermarked stamps is plentiful. There are nine examples recorded in the Aldrich census, but at least one of those has received a negative certificate from The Philatelic Foundation.
