VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF ONLY THREE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS ONE-HOGSHEAD 1917 TYPE A PROVISIONAL SURCHARGE.

The Priester census reports only two examples of REA126. Both have the Type 93 surcharge. The other was offered in our auction of the Tolman collection in 2006. A third example has since come to market, offered in our Sale 1068, also with the Type 93 surcharge.

633 ng Image1917, ($6.00) Ty. A Surcharge on $3.00 Orange on Blue, 1hhd., No. REA111, Beer (REA127; Priester 147A). Described in our "Scarsdale" sale as Priester Type 82 surcharge, after close examination the lettering appears to be a hybrid of serif and sans-serif type that is unlisted in the Priester book with no serifs on the "A" but having them on the "C" and "T", large and even margins, unused (no gum), tiny thin speck, Very Fine, only 22 are recorded in the Priester census but this previously unrecognized surcharge type may well be unique, ex "Scarsdale", with 2012 P.F. certificate as surcharge Type 82 (Image)
