EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT BLUISH PAPER. VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF WITH SUCH ENORMOUS MARGINS.
A total of 40 sheets (4,000 stamps) were printed of the 3c on Bluish paper, using four different printing plates. A quantity was inadvertently distributed to various post offices, including the post office in New York. Many of this small population are off-center.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE UNIQUE CORNER MARGIN COPY OF THE 4-CENT BLUISH PAPER. A FABULOUS 20TH CENTURY RARITY.

It is believed that none of the 4c and 8c Bluish Paper stamps were distributed to post offices, and that all of the examples in collectors' hands reached the market through the Travers-Steinmetz exchange and the 1914 National Museum trades to H. F. Colman (12 copies) and Nassau Stamp Company (65 copies).
