ONE OF THE FINER OF THE APPROXIMATELY 19 KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE 1¢ WITH CHICAGO PERFORATIONS - OF THESE ONLY THREE SINGLES AND THE UNIQUE STRIP OF THREE ARE TYPE IV.

The origin of the Chicago perforation was documented by Jerome S. Wagshal in Chronicle 130 (May 1986), where he explained that the perforating machine responsible for the Chicago Perf stamps was invented by Dr. Elijah W. Hadley, a Chicago dentist who likely built it in 1854. The distinctive 12½-gauge perforation was applied to sheets of the 1¢ (Plates 1 Late and 2) and the 3¢ 1851 Issue, with the 1¢ being considerably rarer; according to a census compiled by W. Wilson Hulme II and published in Chronicle 175 (August 1997). (Image1)
