New York Match Co., 5c Blue, Silk Paper (RO139b).

V. R. Powell, 1c Black on Buff, Cut to Shape (RO150a). Full margins to just touching the frameline in a few places, completely sound, rich shade and sharp impression

THE ONLY SOUND EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAIL STAMP WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

Of the seven we have previously offered, all have faults or repairs to some degree. Only one (ex Tolman, "Scarsdale" and Inman) has full margins all around. The Aldrich census contains 21 examples, 15 of which are noted with faults. It is very probable that most (if not all) of the remaining six actually do have some sort of fault.

With 2001 P.F. certificate (Image)

V. R. Powell, 1c Black, White Wrapper, Cut to Shape (RO151a). Large margins all around, attractive shade, certificate states "small faults" which do not detract from the stamp's outstanding visual attributes

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THE LARGEST MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE STAMP WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

Only thirteen are recorded, and all but one of those have faults to varying degrees (several are quite defective). None of those have margins all around comparable to this stamp. We believe this is the most desirable of all the known copies.
