VERY FINE. A PHENOMENAL ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF NINE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT FROM PLATE FOUR, WHICH CONTAINS THREE TOP ROW TYPE II STAMPS AND TWO RARE TYPE III STAMPS IN THE BOTTOM ROW.

Plate Four was only in use for a short period of time, and large multiples (imperforate or perforated) are rare. The complete left pane of perforated Plate 4 stamps remains intact. Two combination blocks of six that came on the market in the 1980's have since been broken into singles. We sold a top-margin block of eight (Positions 4-7/14-17L4) in our Sale 821 (lot 302). The block offered here, combining Types II, III and IIIa, is one of the last, and possibly the largest, surviving multiples of the perforated 1c 1857 from Plate 4 (apart from the intact pane).

Ex Moody and Neinken. Scott Retail for components of this block is $62,100.00, but obviously the uniqueness of this combination multiple cannot be adequately summed up with catalogue value (Image)

FINE. A RARE 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT BLOCK OF FOUR COMBINING TYPES III AND IIIa.

The demand for well-centered singles of the scarce 1c 1857 types has resulted in the break-up of almost all choice multiples that have come on the market during the past 30 years. This block from the Neinken collection avoided that fate.

Ex Neinken. Listed but unpriced as a block of four. Scott Retail $45,000.00 as two combination pairs. (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE AND DESIRABLE COMBINATION BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPES III AND IIIa FROM PLATE FOUR.

The Neinken book notes that Position 66R4, the top left position this block, started out as a poor example of the type, and as the plate wore thru use the break became more pronounced. The example offered here shows clear breaks at both top and bottom.

Ex Neinken. Listed but unpriced in Scott as a combination block. Scott Retail $45,000.00 as original-gum combination pairs. (Image)
