FINE-VERY FINE. A RARE GROUP OF THE 3-CENT Z GRILL TRIAL COLOR ESSAYS.

150 og Image1c, 2c, 3c, 12c 1868 E. Grills (86, 87, 88, 90). Each with exceptionally strong grill impression, original gum, rich color and deep shade, scissors-separated with straight edge(s)

THESE FOUR 1868 E GRILL STAMPS WERE FOUND TOGETHER AND DESCRIBED BY BRAZER AND FINKELBURG AS TRIALS FROM THE NEW E GRILL DEVICE.

Certain characteristics of these four stamps suggest that they were trial products grilled in early 1868 after the E Grill device was created. These distinguishing characteristics are 1) the uniform and very strong grill impressions; 2) the shades of the 3c and 12c; 3) scissors-separated perfs; and 4) the discovery of these four denominations together. This "set" is accompanied by Falk Finkelburg's original album page identifying these as "Trial Essayed...The Only Ones Known".
