2662 P Image-1/2c ?Presidential, Small Die Proof on Wove (803P2). 26 x 29mm, vivid color, fresh and Very Fine, this small die proof on wove paper is believed to be the only example in private hands (only two or three large die proofs are known); it was part of a set of small die proofs given to a retired engraver, which came to market in a Greg Manning sale more than 40 years ago; Mr. Bailar sold the proof through the Siegel firm when he disposed of his collection after becoming Postmaster General; unbeknownst to him, it was bought by his good friend, Gordon C. Morrison (a former assistant postmaster general), who kept it until Mr. Bailar left office and started collecting again--a remarkable proof and wonderful story of philatelic friendship (Image)
