David Feldman SA Sale: 22DG

British Guiana
1850 Cotton-Reels (SG 1-8)
Sale No: 22DG
Lot No: 70863
Symbol: DCE
Cat No: 4

image THE UNIQUE UNUSED "COTTON REEL" 8 CENTS THE RAREST UNUSED STAMP OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE 1850-51, 8 cents black on blue-green, Townsend Type C, faint initials "JBS", thin frame, uncancelled, cut round showing most of the frame, stained from sealing wax and mild vertical crease of absolutely no significance for a rarity of this worldwide calibre; (unpriced in SG). Only four "Cotton Reels" in unused condition are recorded, of which three represent the 12 cents denomination, this example being clearly the most important as it is the only recorded for the 8 cents denomination. THE RAREST UNUSED STAMP OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND ONE OF THE GREAT GEMS OF WORLDWIDE PHILATELY. Its importance may be compared to the unused "Missionary" 2 cents of Hawaii (sold in 2018 by Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries for $525'000 plus buyer's premium). Expertise: Cert. Brandon (2014) (Image)

Symbol: H
Cat No: 7

image 1850-51, 12 cents black on pale blue, Townsend Type B, with initials of postal clerk Wight "EDW", cut octagonally with almost clear to large margins all round, with ideal strike of 29 July 1851 Demerara datestamp, "two shallow thins" mentioned in the certificate, but we are of the opinion that these could be due to translucency caused by the gum from a previous hinge, as no paper abrasion is to be seen (actually in the Caspary sale this stamp was described as "very fine"); (SG £13'000). One of the finest of just seven cut-octagonally single examples in private hands. Provenance: Alfred H. Caspary (Lot 204, Harmers, May 1957) John E. du Pont (Lot 60023, David Feldman SA, June 2014) Expertise: Pemberton guarantee hs and signed Bloch, Cert. BPA (2014) (Image)
