2103 P ImageToppan, Carpenter, Casilier & Co., 24c Black, Frame Only and Complete Design, Progressive Die Proof on India (37-E2). On 45 x 101mm card, complete design as issued at top (37TC), frame-only progressive die proof at bottom, lacking outer frame line and lathework not retouched, clear impression of the detailed lathework and with die layout lines, pencil "From Jos. E. Ralph, J. M. Bartels" on back

VERY FINE. THIS IS THE UNIQUE PROGRESSIVE DIE PROOF OF AN EARLY STATE OF THE FRAME USED FOR THE 24-CENT DENOMINATION OF THE 1857 ISSUE, STRUCK ALONGSIDE THE COMPLETE DESIGN AT TOP.

We have encountered two other examples of the frame-only progressive die proof (from our Lake Shore and Hulme sales), but neither contained the complete design trial color proof as this example does. Joseph E. Ralph of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is known to have distributed similar die proofs of varying denominations in 1910.

Listed in Scott with a footnote about the dual proof, but unpriced (Image)
