VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SPECTACULAR USE OF A BLOCK OF SIX OF THE 1857 5-CENT RED BROWN ON COVER TO FRANCE, PAYING THE DOUBLE 15-CENT RATE VIA ENGLAND. THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE ON A FULL COVER.
Only one larger multiple (a block of 12) of the 1857 5c Red Brown is recorded on cover, but it is a front only (see Siegel Sale 755, lot 74).
Ex Hill, Rohloff, Klein and Kapiloff. Illustrated in Henry W. Hill's 5c 1856-61 book (p. 44) and in Brookman Vol. I (p. 223). Signed Ashbrook. With 2004 P.F. certificate (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE STRIP OF THE RARE 5-CENT INDIAN RED ON A SMALL AND COLORFUL 1857 TREATY-RATE COVER TO FRANCE VIA AMERICAN PACKET DIRECT TO LE HAVRE. ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING "INDIAN RED" COVERS EXTANT.
This was carried on the Vanderbilt Line steamer North Star from New York on June 19, arriving Le Havre on Jul. 1. There are perhaps 20 to 30 covers known with the Indian Red in a strip of three (or two strips for double rate). This is easily among the finest three or four of the group and is even more desirable as an example of U.S.-French treaty mail carried direct by American Packet.
Ex West, Hill, Grunin and Zoellner, where it was acquired by Mr. Walske in 1998. With 1975 P.F. certificate (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE 10-CENT 1857 TYPE IV MULTIPLE ON COVER, CONTAINING THE ONLY DOUBLE-RECUT POSITION ON THE PLATE. A GREAT RARITY IN THE FINEST ATTAINABLE QUALITY -- QUITE REMARKABLE FOR THE PERFORATED 10-CENT 1857 ISSUE.
There are only four possible Ty. IV vertical pairs (54/64L; 55/65L; 64/74L; 76/86L) on the plate of 200 (two horizontal pairs come from 54-55L and 64-65L). There is one possible vertical strip of three (54/64/74L) and one possible block of four (54-55/64-65L).
