These fascinating "Buffalo Balloon" stamps were intended for use on a balloon flight from Nashville to Gallatin, Tennessee, which took place on June 18, 1877. It is believed that only 300 stamps were printed, of which only 23 were used. We believe that only twelve to fifteen tete-beche pairs still exist today, of which most have been certified by the Philatelic Foundation. Nearly all existing examples have small faults and/or are without gum, suggesting that the original sheets may have been stacked and exposed to moisture prior to their sale; ex-Cunliffe. (Image)
