1851-60 Issues
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
3176 c Image1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Positions 5-6R1E, horizontal pair, both are Ty. Ib, full margin at top nicely shows the type characteristics, bottom margin to slightly in on right stamp, tied by blue "Apalachicola Fla. Jan. 19" (1852) circular datestamp on folded circular to Providence R.I., docketing on back confirms date, file folds including one which has caused a slightly broken crease in left stamp

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib FROM FLORIDA.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp. Six positions on Plate 1 Early furnished stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms of 3-6R and 8-9R were ironed out when the entries were made below them. Position 6 is one of the two best examples of the type as it had less of the bottom ironed out.

We have not encountered another example of Scott 5A used from Florida. In fact, there are very few 1851 Issue covers listed in Power Search for any type or denomination used from Florida.

Signed Ashbrook. Scott Retail for pair off-cover $19,000.00, for two singles with premium for Position 6R1E $20,500.00 (Image)
