Scott No. 82L1, 82L1a; $40,300; Estimate $5,000 - 7,500.

BY FAR THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE RARE 1¢ HINKLEY'S EXPRESS CO. CONTAINING THE UNIQUE TÊTE-BÊCHE VARIETY.

A. M. Hinkley's Express Company and The Metropolitan Errand and Carrier Express Company were associated. The 1¢ stamp with Hinkley's name was probably never issued for use, as no genuine covers or used examples have been found. The stamps were lithographed by Baldwin, Ball and Cousland in sheets of 64 (8 by 8). The lithographic stone was made by repeating intermediate transfers in blocks of four. Prior to the Hall auction, the largest recorded multiple was a block of four (ex-Lilly) and as an indication of rarity, there were only singles in the Caspary and Boker collections.
