The David B. Markowitz Collection of France and French Colonies continued...

Martinique thru Middle Congo
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
262 og ImageMARTINIQUE, 1886, 5c on 20c Red on Yellow Green (2; Yvert 1B). Original gum, trivial h.r., centered to bottom right as are all examples of this stamp, rich color

FINE. A SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RAREST STAMP OF MARTINIQUE AND ONE OF THE RAREST STAMPS IN ALL OF FRENCH COLONIES.

Only 25 examples of this stamp were printed. Some were used and some have been undoubtedly lost to philately forever. In our research on this stamp, we have examined important French Colonies sales of the past to see how this example compares. In several cases (such as the Rolfe Wyer Collection), the stamp is missing altogether. The examples we have found invariably are without gum, have toning and/or faults. We could only locate one other original gum copy that can compare to the Markowitz example.

Signed A. Brun and Roumet. With 2014 J.F. Brun certificate. Yvert €18,000 (Image)
