David Feldman SA Sale: 22DG

British Guiana
1852 Waterlow (SG 9-10)
Sale No: 22DG
Lot No: 70867
Symbol: C
Cat No: 9

image THE FINEST SINGLE EXAMPLE WITH ORIGINAL GUM 1852 Waterlow 1 cent black on magenta, clear to very large margins with part sheet margin at left, unused with almost complete original gum, resplendent colour, pressed vertical crease at right mentioned in the BPA certificate, which in our opinion could be caused during the printing process as the gum is not affected by the crease (in the Ferrary and Hind sales this stamp was described as superb), exceptionally fresh and without any of the usual rubbing; (SG £15'000). Exceedingly rare in this wonderful state of preservation, with only two examples without faults or major faults recorded (both offered in this sale), and the finest single known with original gum. Provenance: Philipp von Ferrary (Lot 209, Sale II, October 1921, "superbe") Arthur Hind (Lot 99, H. R. Harmer, Second Sale, May 1934, "superb") Dale-Lichtenstein (Lot 410, H. R. Harmer, February 1969, bought in that sale by Stanley Gibbons) Claude Cartier (Lot 27, Stanley Gibbons, April 1977) John E. du Pont (Lot 60032, David Feldman SA, June 2014) Expertise: Signed Bloch, Cert. BPA (2014) (Image)

Cat No: 10

image THE FINEST KNOWN PAIR 1852 Waterlow 4 cent black on deep blue, a remarkable horizontal pair displaying a very fresh deep colour, with good to large margins all around, cancelled by light Demerara datestamp on 31 December 1852, pinhole at foot of right stamp, some pencil marks and overpainting on small surface blemishes, in no way detracting and being minor imperfections in this issue; (SG £24'000 as singles). Only five pairs are recorded in private hands, which represent the largest multiple recorded, this being of remarkably superior quality (the other pairs are affected by cut in margins). Provenance: Philipp von Ferrary (Lot 41, Sale I, June 1921) Alfred H. Caspary (Lot 219, H.R.Harmer, May 1957) Maurice Burrus (Lot 29, Robson Lowe, November 1963) John E. du Pont (Lot 60046, David Feldman SA, June 2014) Expertise: Cert. BPA (2014) (Image)

Cat No: 10

image THE EARLIEST COVER SENT ABROAD BEARING A BRITISH GUIANA STAMP 1852 Waterlow 4 cent black on deep blue, a marginal example from the right of the sheet, showing complete to huge margins on three sides, used on 27 January 1852 cover to London, tied by light Demerara datestamp ("7" of "27" omitted, with a further strike on flap having the "7" inserted by pen), charged one shilling packet postage in London, stamp with left frame line very slightly touched and the lower right corner showing a small tear which is confined to the sheet margin and does not impinge on the design. The only cover recorded bearing this rarity sent to a foreign destination, and of much greater significance, the earliest external British Guiana mail franked with postage stamps, as well as, with the exception of Brazil, the earliest transatlantic bearing a South American stamp. Without doubt, one of the most significant covers in existence crossing the Atlantic from South America. Provenance: William Augustus Townsend (Lot 19, Harmer's, October 1969) Small (Lot 24, Robson Lowe, March 1970) John E. du Pont (Lot 60051, David Feldman SA, June 2014) Expertise: Cert. BPA (2014) (Image)
