1850-51 "Cottonreels". The unique and iconic 1851 "Cottonreel" cover. One of the Greatest Gems of Worldwide Philately. The "Weill Cover", One of the Great Gems of Worldwide Philately. 2c. black on rose Type B, a magnificent vertical pair, initialled "E.D.W." on 1851 (26 Nov.) entire letter to "Edward Gordon Esq., Plant. Good Hope", cancelled by "demerara" double-arc d.s.. The pair is of excellent colour for this stamp and cut square with good to large margins on three sides, close at left with frameline of lower stamp just impinged upon. As is inevitable for any old domestic letter of this colony, there is slight age staining. . . Ten examples of the 2c black on rose are known, including four single stamps off cover and three pairs on cover. However, only six examples, on cover or off cover, are available to collectors, as the remaining four include one pair on cover in the Royal Philatelic Collection, and two single examples off cover - one in the British Library in London, and the other in the Post and Telecommunications Museum in Bonn, Germany.. . Of the three pairs recorded, the other two are not in the outstanding state of preservation of the pair on the "Weill Cover", as one is extensively repaired - in the Royal Philatelic collection, and the other, on the "Miss Rose" entire letter, is cut round and with parts of the frame line missing. . . The finest known of the three pairs on cover, and therefore it can uncategorically be stated that the "Weill Cover" is "sans parell" in terms of quality. With the exception of this pair, the other eight surviving examples are cut round, and as a result, this is unique. It exhibits the rarest value of the "Cotton Reels" and is, undoubtedly, together with the unique "Cotton Reel" combination franking, one of the two most important covers of British Guiana. One of the top three covers of the British Empire, as well as an extraordinary rarity of philately in general, which must be ranked as one of the top fifteen philatelic gems of the world. S.G. 1, £650,000 off cover for cut round; unpriced for cut square. Photo (Image1)

One of only three recorded unused examples of the 12 cents, made even more significant by the fact that only four unused 'Cotton Reel' stamps are known to exist, with the fourth being the unique unused 8 cents.
