247   Image$40.00 Yellow Green, Wine (RE107B). Serial no. 21451, neat Aug. 5, 1943 handstamp cancels, also few staple holes as to be expected, vertical crease mostly between stamp and tablet, couple light diagonal creases, tiny staple holes and closed edge tear at right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE $40.00 WINE WITH FULL TABLET. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.

The high-denomination wine stamps came into use when the law was changed, allowing revenue stamps to be affixed to the case rather than each individual bottle. They were issued in booklet form, perforated only at left. The first series (Scott RE56-RE59) was used prior to Prohibition and on religious and medicinal wine during Prohibition. They were reprinted in 1934 after Prohibition (Scott RE107A-RE107D). These reprints are considerably scarcer than their earlier counterparts. Perhaps a dozen or so are known of this denomination, and virtually all have faults.

250   Image3-1/2c Green & Black, Series of 1941, Wine (RE114). Clear roulettes on all sides, bright color, neat purple datestamp cancel

VERY FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 3-1/2 CENT 1942 WINE ISSUE. ONLY SIX ARE KNOWN.

The 3-1/2c stamp was intended for use to pay the tax on half-pint units of artificially carbonated wines. This rate was in effect from October 1, 1941, to October 31, 1942. Only one delivery of these stamps was made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to the Internal Revenue Department as of June 30, 1942. The lack of additional deliveries also explains why no copies were contained in the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum deaccessioned archives.

This is one of the rarest of all Wine stamps, and it is only known used. Richard Friedberg records six copies.

254   Image$400.00 Yellow Green & Black, 1942 Issue, Wine (RE165B). Rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, neat "K.D.P.C." and "JUN 9 1952" handstamp cancels, additional neat red crayon check mark, two staple holes at top of little consequence on a rarity such as this

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THE $400.00 SERIES OF 1941 WINE IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL WINE STAMPS AND AN IMPORTANT KEY TO A COMPLETE COLLECTION. ONLY FOUR USED EXAMPLES ARE KNOWN.

An example was offered in the 2000 Lyons sale, with the same cancels on the same date. That copy did not have the staple holes, but the checkmark was lightened. Another was offered in our Tolman sale in 2006, which was also similar to the example offered here. The fourth used example has not been seen in some time. Six unused were also offered as part of the Smithsonian's deaccession in 2005, but it is easy to distinguish between those and the contemporary supply, all of which are used.
