The Frelinghuysen Collection, Part Two: United States Stamps continued...

1867-68 Grilled Issue - F Grill (Scott 92-101)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
251 ogbl Image1c Blue, F. Grill (92). Block of four with bottom part imprint and "Plate" selvage, part original gum, h.r., bright color, clearly-defined grills, few trivial perf separations sensibly reinforced, some slight gum soaks in grill, small toned spot in selvage only at lower right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1868 ONE-CENT F GRILL SHOWING PART OF THE IMPRINT AT BOTTOM. THIS IS THE FIRST BLOCK OF THIS ISSUE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE 1992.

A full plate block is not known for the 1c F. Grill. The Chapin census records a block of six (without gum) with plate number and part of the imprint, offered in our 1980 Rarities sale, which is also the largest recorded multiple. The block of four offered here has part original gum and a large portion of the imprint, including the word "Plate", which only occurs on the bottom of the sheet (Image)
