1015 og ImageCalifornia State Telegraph Co., 1871, Black & Red on Thick Wove, Without Number, Imperforate (5T3a). Unused (no gum), large margins, slight creasing

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MAJOR RARITIES OF TELEGRAPH STAMPS.

This design is identical to the 1870 Issue, except that the year in the red oval has been changed to 1871. It is known perforated and imperforate, the latter being far rarer. The Scott Catalogue lists the imperforate stamp as a pair, although the existence of a multiple could never be confirmed by George Kramer or Wilson Born during their many years researching the subject. This example resided for decades in the collection formed by Governor Pierre S. du Pont IV and came to the market in a 1991 Christie's sale.

Ex du Pont and Kramer and illustrated in his book. (Image)
