47 6 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". The unique and iconic 1851 "Cottonreel" cover. One of the Greatest Gems of Worldwide Philately. The "Weill Cover", One of the Great Gems of Worldwide Philately. 2c. black on rose Type B, a magnificent vertical pair, initialled "E.D.W." on 1851 (26 Nov.) entire letter to "Edward Gordon Esq., Plant. Good Hope", cancelled by "demerara" double-arc d.s.. The pair is of excellent colour for this stamp and cut square with good to large margins on three sides, close at left with frameline of lower stamp just impinged upon. As is inevitable for any old domestic letter of this colony, there is slight age staining. . . Ten examples of the 2c black on rose are known, including four single stamps off cover and three pairs on cover. However, only six examples, on cover or off cover, are available to collectors, as the remaining four include one pair on cover in the Royal Philatelic Collection, and two single examples off cover - one in the British Library in London, and the other in the Post and Telecommunications Museum in Bonn, Germany.. . Of the three pairs recorded, the other two are not in the outstanding state of preservation of the pair on the "Weill Cover", as one is extensively repaired - in the Royal Philatelic collection, and the other, on the "Miss Rose" entire letter, is cut round and with parts of the frame line missing. . . The finest known of the three pairs on cover, and therefore it can uncategorically be stated that the "Weill Cover" is "sans parell" in terms of quality. With the exception of this pair, the other eight surviving examples are cut round, and as a result, this is unique. It exhibits the rarest value of the "Cotton Reels" and is, undoubtedly, together with the unique "Cotton Reel" combination franking, one of the two most important covers of British Guiana. One of the top three covers of the British Empire, as well as an extraordinary rarity of philately in general, which must be ranked as one of the top fifteen philatelic gems of the world. S.G. 1, £650,000 off cover for cut round; unpriced for cut square. Photo
Note: The 2-cent was issued to cover the local letter rate for G.

48 3 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". The "Caspary" and "Isleham" Cut Square 4 Cents. 4c. black on orange Type A, initialled "E.D.W.", cut square, fine clear impression and rich colour, margins all round except circular frame slightly cut into at left, tied on small piece by Demerara double-arc d.s. for November 1851, lifted and hinged in place, tiny thin spots. A very attractive example of this great rarity, which is remarkably difficult to obtain cut square. A highly desirable gem of this issue. S.G. 2I, £100,000. Photo
Provenance: A. Caspary, May 1957. Isleham, March 1987.

52 3 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". The "Ferrary" and "Burrus" 8 Cents Cut Square Example. The "Ferrary" & "Burrus" 8 Cents Cut-Square Example. 8c. black on green Type C, initialled "E.D.W.", cut square with circular frameline touched at foot and at left, excellent colour, cancelled by light Berbice double-arc d.s. in 1850, fine. A lovely and most desirable example; according to our records, the finest of only five cut-square examples recorded, additionally being one of just two in sound condition -both offered in this sale - (fewer than ten cut square and cut round examples are faultless). A gem of this issue. Robson Lowe Opinion (1963). S.G. 4I, £70,000. Photo

An outstanding example without any of the faults which plague this issue, with just two of the five cut square examples recorded being in sound condition. Signed on reverse by J.B. Moens and F. de Coppet ("F. de C."). Sismondo Certificate (2015). S.G. 4I, £70,000. Photo
Note: This stamp was part of the de Coppet Philatelic Sale of 18.

54 5 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". 8c. black on green Type B, initialled "E.T.E.W.", cut round showing virtually complete circular frameline, on piece cancelled by Demerara double-arc d.s. for 17 June 1851 with another strike nearby; the adhesive crossed by pressed crease at left which does not affect appearance, and the piece with creases and some light and minor discolouration, barely detracting from this remarkable example with the unusual attribute of having complete margins and not being affected by any thinning as most of the examples in existence.

56 2 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". One of the Four Unused "Cotton Reel" Examples. 12c. black on blue Type ?, initialled "E.D.W.", unused, cut round with just traces of outer frameline, some minor thins and small fault above "r" of "british", not detracting from this gem. One of only three recorded unused examples of the 12 cents, made even more significant by the fact that only four unused 'Cotton Reel' stamps are known to exist, with the fourth being the unique unused 8 cents. These are considered among the greatest rarities of the British Empire in unused condition. S.G. 5II. Photo
Note: One of the other two unused 12 cents examples, without ini.

57 3 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". The "Ferrary" and "Burrus" 12 Cents Pair. 12c. black on blue Type B horizontal pair with almost clear outer framelines (left stamp cut into slightly), initialled "E.D.W.", cancelled by Demerara double-arc d.s. for 25 April 1851; tiny thins at foot between stamps and sealed tear at left, of very little significance, since only about fifteen examples of this value -cut square or cut round- and one pair are sound. Only four 12 cents pairs are recorded in private hands, three of which have faults. S.G. 5II. Photo
Provenance: Philipp von Ferrary, Sale 2 October 1921. M. Burrus,.

Very rare, with cut-round examples being even scarcer than cut-square ones, despite the latter being catalogued at a higher value. B.P.A. Certificate (1959). S.G. 5I, £35,000. Photo (Image1)

60 3 image1850-51 "Cottonreels". 12c. black on blue Type ?, initialled "E.W.D."?, cut round with circular frameline intact, centrally cancelled by partly heavy Demerara double-arc d.s. for 23 March 1851; pressed vertical crease at the right, otherwise fine, this being clearly a minor imperfection for this stamp, which is often found with more significant faults. This example exhibits clear margins, which are very rarely encountered for this value and, in addition, features an exceptionally well-centered cancellation. Friedl Certificate (1968).
