Germany, 1901, 3pf on half of 5pf green Vineta Provisional (Scott 65B), tied by a partial c.d.s. on a small piece of a picture postcard, Very Fine.

Michel 67; €10,000 ($11,210).
The Vineta was in port at New Orleans on January 27, 1901, which happened to be the Kaiser's birthday. To honor the occasion, the city of New Orleans, along with the crew, held a celebration. The crew wanted to send newspaper accounts of the celebration home, but there was a shortage of the 3pf stamps required for the printed matter rate. Accordingly, the ship's Captain authorized the bisecting and overprinting of 300 5pf stamps to fill the need. Scott $7,000 Suggested Bid $3,500-5,000 (Image)
