Special Delivery (Scott E1-E10)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
828 ogbl Image10c Blue, Special Delivery (E1). Top right corner imprint and plate no. 495 block of ten with unusually wide selvage, natural s.e. with part arrow at left, original gum, lightly hinged, rich color, few minor perf separations expertly reinforced

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER BLOCK OF TEN OF THE 1885 FIRST SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE.

Each of the first four Special Delivery Issues (E1-E4) are extremely rare in plate block form. We believe the 1885 Issue, E1, is the rarest of the group with perhaps 5-7 known (including one pane). This and the one in our recent Curtis sale are the only imprint and plate number blocks to appear in Power Search.

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PLATE BLOCK OF EIGHT OF THE 1888 SECOND SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

Each of the first four Special Delivery Issues (E1-E4) is rare in plate block form. There are perhaps ten known of the 1888 Issue, E2, and this well-centered Mint N.H. wide-bottom plate block is without question one of the finest known. (Image)

FINE-VERY FINE. A RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER BLOCK OF THE 10-CENT 1893 SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE, WITH THE PLATE BLOCK OF EIGHT IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. A PHENOMENAL PLATE BLOCK.

Each of the first four Special Delivery Issues (E1-E4) is rare in plate block form. There are perhaps a dozen known of the 1893 Issue, Scott E3, which is an extension of the Columbian Issue commemoratives. Power Search located only three other examples, and one of those is faulty. None are Mint N.H.
