A RARE EARLY 1851 ISSUE TRANSATLANTIC USE TO RUSSIA.
William Louis Winans was a noted railway pioneer, who, with his brother, traveled to Russia in 1843 as part of a $3 million contract to supply railroad locomotives and cars for the new railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow. From 1852, William was the chief manager of the Russian operation, which had a lucrative contract for making and maintaining running stock for the growing Russian railroad network--it was reported their contracted fees were 17 times higher than in any other country in Europe. During the Crimean War the firm's operations expanded, and Winans acted as the U.S. vice-consul in St. Petersburg. The contract expired in 1862, and Winans left Russia for London a millionaire.

The discovery of this strip was first reported in the August 30, 1941 edition of "Stamps" magazine. Found by Pasadena, Cal. stamp dealer Alexander D. Gage as part of a group of six strips of 5 of the 10¢ imperforates affixed to a May 30, 1857 letter from Sacramento, Cal. to an eastern publisher for payment of a subscription. The publisher returned stamps to the sender with a note that they where unusable due to the stamps being stuck down and asked for currency for the payment. Scott $42,500 for no gum singles (Image)

IN OUR OPINION, THIS IS THE FINEST APPEARING EXAMPLE WITH SUPERB CENTERING OF ONLY APPROXIMATELY 20 KNOWN PERFORATED 1857 1¢ TYPE III STAMPS FROM POSITION 99R2.
Plate 2 was made in late 1855, and consists of 198 stamps that are Type II, one position that is Type III (99R2) and one that is Type IIIA (100R2). Plate 2 stamps are rarer perforated than in imperforate form. Most perforated examples of position 99R2 have perforations cutting into the design on at least one side. The example offered here remarkably shows all design characteristics perfectly.
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, the majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) has small breaks in at least one line. The most notable exception is Position 99R2. According to the Neinken book, "The 99R2 stamp is a fresh entry, that was short transferred both at top and bottom, over an original entry that had been erased… The reason that 99R2 is the finest example of Type III is because of its very short transfer at top and at bottom, giving us the wide breaks in these lines."

1860, 24¢ gray lilac. Red grid cancel, exceptional centering amid wide margins with design clear of perforations at top and bottom (extremely rare thus), intensely rich color, Extremely Fine to Superb, with 2020 Crowe certificate Graded (XF-Sup 95, SSV $3,650). Scott No. 37; $375.
AN OUTSTANDING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1860 24¢ WASHINGTON ISSUE.
Although the 24¢ denomination was introduced in 1857, it was not put into use until July 1860. The issue was demonetized only thirteen months later. The 24¢ denomination was primarily used for the 24¢ U.S.-G.B. treaty rate to the United Kingdom. Toppan Carpenter's typically erratic perforating continued with the 24¢ issue, coupled with the short period of use, are the primary reasons why superb used examples of the 24¢ 1860 are so difficult to find.
