The David Wingate Collection of United States Stamps continued...

1917-19 Issues (Scott 481-524)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
370   Image2c Deep Rose, Ty. Ia, Imperforate (482A). Intact Schermack perfs at right and with easily discernible Schermack perfs at left, brilliant color, neat wavy-line machine cancel leaves design clearly visible

FRESH AND FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF SCOTT 482A, WHICH IS ONE OF THE RAREST 20TH CENTURY UNITED STATES STAMPS. ONLY 46 ARE RECORDED, AND ALL BUT ONE ARE USED.

Scott 482A, like its slightly more famous predecessor, Scott 314A, was issued imperforate by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and sold to the Schermack Company for use in its patented stamp-affixing machines. The Schermack "Sealer and Stamper" machine typically applied stamps one at a time, and, in most cases, the hyphen-hole perfs on one side would be cut off. Unlike Scott 314A, the release of imperforate sheets printed from the experimental Type Ia plates escaped the notice of contemporary collectors, and, therefore, has a very small survival rate.

Our census of Scott 482A, available at our website at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/482A , records three covers, one unused single (perfs trimmed on both sides), a used pair and 40 used singles for a total of 46 stamps. Most examples are either cut well into the design or have the Schermack perfs trimmed away on one side. The example offered here, in sound condition and with the Schermack perfs visible on both sides, should be considered desirable.

371 ogbl Image5c Carmine, Imperforate, Error (485). Single error in block of nine, huge margins all around including part of all adjoining stamps, accompanying certificate notes small hinge at top above the center line and at bottom center in the incomplete stamp, meaning the actual block of nine could be Mint N.H., radiant color

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE MINT EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT IMPERFORATE ERROR IN A BLOCK OF NINE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION.

During the course of production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). The imperforate is by far the rarest of the three.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT IMPERFORATE ERROR IN A BLOCK OF TWELVE.

During the course of production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). The imperforate is by far the rarest of the three.

FRESH AND FINE JOINT LINE PAIR OF THE RARE 2-CENT ROTARY TYPE II COIL, SCOTT 491.

378 nh Image$1.00 Deep Brown (518b). Mint N.H., deep rich color in the true Deep Brown shade, choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 1917 ISSUE IN THE DEEP BROWN SHADE. DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION, ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH SUPERB CENTERING. WE HAVE OFFERED ONLY FOUR OTHER MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLES SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

According to Johl, a small number of stamps were printed in this distinctive shade early in the issue of the 1917 $1.00 stamp. During the course of the six years that the stamp was issued, all other printings were made in the normal shade. Centered Mint Never-Hinged examples such as the stamp offered here are true condition rarities -- this is only the fifth unduplicated Mint N.H. example we have offered since keeping computerized records. Two of the five have poor centering.
