1949 c ImageChicago Penny Post, Chicago Ill., (1c) Orange Brown, Serrated Perforations (38L1 var). Large margins showing roulettes on all four sides, manuscript cancel (not tied), used on small cover to local street address, opening tear at upper left and lightly soiled

VERY FINE STAMP ON AN ATTRACTIVE LOCAL COVER. ONE OF TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE CHICAGO PENNY POST "BEEHIVE" STAMP WITH PERFORATIONS. NO MORE THAN THREE COVERS WITH THIS STAMP ARE KNOWN.

This and the cover offered in lot 918 of our 1999 sale of the Golden collection (Sale 817) are the two Chicago Penny Post 38L1 covers we feel certain are genuine (the stamp on the cover offered in lot 916 of the Golden sale probably did not originate). Curiously, the two genuine covers have stamps that were perforated; this example very clearly so, and the other with only tiny traces of a roulette.

Ex Hennan and Golden. With 1988 P.F. certificate. (Image)

1951   ImageDavis's Penny Post, Baltimore Md., (1c) Black on Lilac, "Pennq" for "Penny" (57L1 var). Type B, Position 2 with large top right sheet margins, other sides ample to large with left ornaments just touched, pencil "X" cancel, tiny corner creases at bottom, truly insignificant, small red mark on back

EXTREMELY FINE. THE FINEST OF THE THREE USED EXAMPLES OF THE "PENNQ" ERROR, OF WHICH FOUR ARE KNOWN IN TOTAL. THIS CORNER-MARGIN COPY IS PROOF THAT THE ERROR OCCUPIED POSITION 2 IN THE SETTING.

The Davis's "Pennq Post" error was not noted by Denwood Kelly, and it remained unlisted in Scott for 40 years after Elliott Perry wrote to the U.S. Specialized editor, Eugene Costales, in April 1959, reporting the "Pennq" variety. This stamp was part of the C. E. Chapman collection, and, as far back as the 1890's, it was affixed to an 1852 folded letter to which it did not belong. The stamp has been removed from the cover. It is the finest known used example.

Ex Chapman and Golden. With 1999 P.F. certificate (Image)
