United States Essays and Proofs continued...

1851-60, 1861 Issues, Toppan Carpenter, Casilier & Co.
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
102° E Image3c Black, Die Essay on India (11-E22). 37 x 45mm, showing layout lines, intense shade and impression

EXTREMELY FINE AND EXCEEDINGLY RARE. THIS IS THE ONLY ESSAY DESIGN SHOWING THE CORNER ROSETTES. AN IMPORTANT EXHIBITION PIECE.

Some students consider this to be one of the proof impressions of the die used for the Roosevelt and Panama-Pacific Small Die Proofs. Others, including the late Clarence Brazer, consider this to be one of the die essays produced in 1851.

We have sold one in Black and one in the other listed color, Dusky Blue. However, those examples differed from the one offered here. This example shows clear die layout lines, while the others do not.

103 TC Image5c 1856 Issue, Trial Color Plate Proofs on Wove (12TC5). Seven, complete for the Scott-listed colors less the extremely rare Black, five mounted on Falk Finkelburg's original cards with his labels, ample to large margins, bright colors, a minor crease on one or two but overall fresh

VERY FINE. A SCARCE AND DESIABLE GROUP OF THE 5-CENT 1856 TRIAL COLOR PROOFS ON WOVE.

Collectors in pursuit of essay and proof material for the 5c 1856-60 Issue have very limited targets. There are no essays recorded and only three large die proofs are known -- one in Orange Brown and two in Black. The trial color plate proofs on wove offered here are available in several colors, including Black, of which only two are known. This set includes the scarcer Red Brown, which has often been mistaken for the issued stamp. We believe the other Scott-listed varieties of Brown (Pale, Rose and Olive) are variations on the same basic color (the Scott-listed Olive Brown is called Dark Rose Brown by Finkelburg in the set offered here).
