These Provisional Imperforates came about as a result of the breaking of the pins of the 12½ comb machine and the eventual conversion of the perforating instrument to line perforation. While the perforator was withdrawn from service for repair, stamps were issued imperforate. This occurred during three very brief but distinct periods. Est. $5,000-7,500 (Image)
