RPSofV Certificate (2021). With a normal stamp for comparison. [The first print is quite faint & was obviously considered unsatisfactory. The strong second impression is 2mm to the left and slightly lower. Ken Scudder at page 179 states "Clear double prints exist...probably all...from the same sheet of stamps." Until the 2010 Edition, this error was unpriced by Gibbons]

Ex Bernie Manning: sold at the Prestige auction of 5.12.2009 for $1630. [The ACSC at page 1/57 states "This was originally a machine for perforating lettercards, which was converted to a vertical comb in mid-1911. The gauge of the vertical line was variable, the stamps of the first row measuring 11½, the second row 11, the third row 12 & the fourth to twelfth rows 12½-12¾. It is customary to collect these variations in vertical strips (of 3). The variations can occur in the lower rows of the sheet if perforating was inverted"] (Qty 9 blocks)
