FINE APPEARING AND RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE III.
Type III is defined by breaks in the outer lines at both top and bottom. Many Type III stamps have breaks that were created or enlarged by plate wear. Since the wear occurred over a period of time, a majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) have small breaks in at least one line.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING COMBINATION PAIR OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 IMPERFORATE TYPES III AND IIIA WITH BEAUTIFUL MARGINS, COLOR, CANCELLATION AND IMPRESSIONS.
The Neinken book lists the left stamp (Position 34) as being Type IIIa. However, as the plate was used the outer line at bottom wore away, and the stamp became Type III. The combination of these types from Positions 34-35L4 is extremely rare in any form, but imperforate Plate 4 stamps are much rarer than perforated stamps from this plate.

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 FROM POSITION 91L ON PLATE ONE LATE, SHOWING A TRIPLE TRANSFER, ONE INVERTED.
The inverted transfers on Positions 71L, 81L and 91L (offered here) were made after the top row of the right pane of Plate 1 Early was entered from the Type I single-relief transfer roll. According to Richard Celler's theory, the three inverted transfers were made from a Type I design 3-relief transfer roll as a sort of trial after the top row entries had been made and the plate was turned around 180 degrees. When another plate ("Plate 0") had to be discarded, the siderographer returned to Plate 1 and erased the three inverted transfers before completing the plate with entries surrounding 3R to 10R. On Plate 1 Early, Positions 71L and 81L are double transfers. Position 91L was entered a total of three times, so it is a triple transfer, one inverted. When the plate was reworked in 1852, 71L and 81L were re-entered (but not 91L), making them all triple transfers, one inverted.

EXTREMELY FINE. A PARTICULARLY CHOICE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE I.
Type I stamps come from the bottom 20 positions of the plate. They are the only stamps to show the design complete at bottom. For some reason the sheet margin at bottom was often trimmed away, leaving a dearth of quality copies. The Type IV stamps come from only eight positions, but we would rank the two types equally in terms of the rarity of sound four-margined unused copies.
