Superb United States Stamps and Private Die Proprietary continued...

Private Die Medicine Stamps: S thru Z continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
557   ImageWilliam Swaim, 8c Orange, Watermarked, Imperforate (RS234d). Huge margins all around, vivid color on fresh paper

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS THE ONLY SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE SCARCE WILLIAM SWAIM 8-CENT ORANGE WATERMARKED IMPERFORATE ISSUE WE HAVE OFFERED IN AT LEAST 25 YEARS.

Only 35 examples are recorded in the Aldrich book, which notes that more than half are sound. We doubt that figure as every example we have offered since keeping computerized records has had a crease, thin or a combination of the two. This fresh large-margined example is surely one of the finest extant (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A DESIRABLE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT UNITED STATES PROPRIETARY MEDICINE COMPANY ISSUE ON ORANGE RED WRAPPER.

FINE APPEARANCE. THE ONE-CENT UNITED STATES PROPRIETARY MEDICINE COMPANY ISSUE ON ORANGE RED SILK PAPER IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL PRIVATE DIE MEDICINE STAMPS.

Only three are recorded in the Aldrich census, making this the rarest of the U.S. Proprietary Medicine Co. wrappers. Of the three, one is reported as sound, though with the nature of this paper we would be surprised if any are truly sound.
