55 og Image1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Position 71L1L, triple transfer, one inverted, recut twice at top and once at bottom (only four such recuts on plate), original gum, h.r., large margins all around, rich color and detailed impression showing many lines of the inverted transfer, Extremely Fine, a scarce original-gum example of this desirable position, according to Richard Celler's theory, the three inverted transfers were made from a Type I design 3-relief transfer roll as a sort of trial after the top row entries had been made and the plate was turned around 180 degrees, when another plate ("Plate 0") had to be discarded, the siderographer returned to Plate 1 and erased the three inverted transfers before completing the plate with entries surrounding 3R to 10R -- on Plate 1 Early, Positions 71L and 81L are double transfers, Position 91L was entered a total of three times, so it is a triple transfer, one inverted -- when the plate was reworked in 1852, 71L and 81L were re-entered (but not 91L), making them all triple transfers, one inverted (Image)

56 c Image1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Position 91-93L1L, horizontal strip of three, center stamp two tiny tears at bottom, left stamp 91L triple transfer, one inverted, with huge left sheet margin, each stamp recut once at top, large margins at top and bottom and just barely touched at right, beautiful bright shade more typical of Plate 1 Early printing than Plate 1 Late, the huge sheet margin allows the full inverted transfer to show, tied by two light strikes of "Clarksville Tenn. Mar. 21" circular datestamp on brown cover to Hopkinsville Ky. with Washington Hotel dark blue cameo corner card, with original 1854 letter from a traveling businessman

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A SPECTACULAR COVER BEARING A ONE-CENT 1851 ISSUE STRIP CONTAINING ONE OF THE INVERTED TRANSFER POSITIONS ON PLATE ONE LATE -- ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE HUGE SHEET MARGIN AND BRIGHT BLUE SHADE.

The inverted transfers on Positions 71L, 81L and 91L were made after the top row of the right pane of Plate 1 Early was entered from the Type I single-relief transfer roll. According to Richard Celler's theory, the three inverted transfers were made from a Type I design 3-relief transfer roll as a sort of trial after the top row entries had been made and the plate was turned around 180 degrees. When another plate ("Plate 0") had to be discarded, the siderographer returned to Plate 1 and erased the three inverted transfers before completing the plate with entries surrounding 3R to 10R. On Plate 1 Early, Positions 71L and 81L are double transfers. Position 91L was entered a total of three times, so it is a triple transfer, one inverted. When the plate was reworked in 1852, 71L and 81L were re-entered (but not 91L), making them all triple transfers, one inverted. The stamp offered here comes from Position 91L on Plate 1 Late.

57 c Image1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Position 31R1L, recut once at top and bottom, large margins including part of left interpane margin, beautiful deep rich color, tied by "Paid" in Rectangular Frame with Integral Square Grid cancel, matching "Bucksport Me. Oct. (?)" circular datestamp on buff cover to local addressee, top right corner of stamp detached and rejoined (entirely in margin and not affecting printed portion), small part of backflap missing

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ANY FORM OF FANCY CANCELLATION ON THE 1851 ISSUE IS RARE.

The distinctive Bucksport "Paid" -- sometimes called the Bucksport Flag -- was a creative way to simultaneously cancel the whole stamp and mark the letter "Paid".

Ex Newbury, Haas and Vogel (Image)
