Mexico 1895 "Mulitas" continued...
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
361 Proof   imageMexico. 1895 "Mulitas". 1895 1c. "Mulitas", imperforate sample specimen stamps on black on card, including one single and one pair. Both items displaying the "PRUEBA" banner diagonally at top right, with the pair having the elaborate fancy decorations in the sheet margin. Scott 242v. Note: These were samples produced by the British printer Bradbury and Wilkinson, with the purpose of showing the quality of their work to the Mexican postal authorities. They copied the existing design and printed very few. Only a couple of complete sheets are known. This firm was hired to produce the following stamp set in 1899. A stamp from the issue is included for comparison. (Image)

362 Proof   imageMexico. 1895 "Mulitas". 1895 10c. Green, die proof of unissued design (essay) on glossy card. Some oxidation spots not detracting from this unique piece. The only known example, exhibiting a similar design to the 10 Pesos, but denominated 10 centavos. Roberto Liera considered this one of the rarest items of Mexican philately. Ingham described it as "very scarce if not unique". Note: John Bash mentions this essay, and the other essay of the frame also offered in this sale, on page 312 of "Mexicana" (October 1964) and Chapman adds: "This proof is a designed by Edward Bouligay of 'Bouligay and Schmidt'. The die proof was damaged because it was applied pressure before being hardened and therefore is likely this is the unique example in existence". (Image)
