EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A SPECTACULAR ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF TEN OF THE 10-CENT ROSE LITHOGRAPH ISSUE -- THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE.
The rarity of this block of ten cannot be overstated. There exists a block of eight, without gum, and with large portions of two additional adjoining stamps (ex Murphy). It has faults which are more severe than on the block offered here. We sold a different block of eight in our 1982 Rarities sale, with original gum and two stamps cut-in at the right. This block of ten is the largest recorded multiple and has no equals.
Ex Weatherly (acquired by the Kilbournes privately in 1963). Illustrated in 1986 Dietz catalog (p. 152). Scott Retail $24,000.00 as two blocks of four (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE AND AN IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE STATES RARITY. THIS IS ONE OF FIVE OR FEWER RECORDED MULTIPLES OF THE 10-CENT ROSE LITHOGRAPH SHOWING THE COMPLETE IMPRINT -- AND THE LARGEST EXTANT.
There are at least two unused pairs of the 10c Rose showing the imprint with a portion of "Richmond" missing -- one lacks the "M" and "N", while the other lacks most of the lettering after "RI" and is also partially severed and rejoined (ex Walcott, Caspary and Murphy, Siegel Sale 795, lot 745). We sold a strip of three in the Dr. Brandon collection with the full imprint and complete "Richmond" (Siegel Sale 1087, lot 249). This strip of four is the largest imprint multiple we record and is particularly desirable as it shows completely each letter of the entire imprint.
Ex Hastings. C.S.A. Catalog value for imprint pair $8,500.00 (Image)
THE UNIQUE GUTTER-MARGIN MULTIPLE OF THE 10-CENT ROSE LITHOGRAPH. ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITIES OF ALL CONFEDERATE GENERAL ISSUES.
Ex Dr. Graves, Murphy and from our 1982 and 1986 Rarities sales. With 1984 P.F. certificate. The gutter pair is listed but unpriced in Scott. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS REMARKABLE VARIETY -- ALSO THE ONLY RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 10-CENT ROSE WITH A SHIFTED TRANSFER.
The C.S.A. Catalog discusses the 10c Rose Replaced or Shifted Transfers (p. 332) and states that there is only one multiple recorded containing a shift. They are constant varieties (not transient), and are rare with between one and six recorded from seven positions on the printing stone. Opinions differ on how and why they were created. The lack of large multiples and general scarcity of the 10c Rose has hampered their study.
