1097   Image1c Blue, Ty. II-IIIa-IIIa (7-8A-8A). Positions 16-18R1E, horizontal strip of three, early impression, Type IIIa at center with a wide break in outer line, another Type IIIa at right with a small break, Type II at left, mostly large to huge margins showing parts of adjoining stamps above, including the plumes and balls of Position 7R1E at center, beautiful rich color in Plate 1 Early shade

VERY FINE. A WONDERFUL 1851 ONE-CENT PLATE ONE EARLY MULTIPLE WITH A SCARCE COMBINATION OF TYPES AND CAPTURING THE COVETED BALLS OF POSITION 7R1E.

The reason that Position 7R1E retained its Type I elements at the bottom is because 17R1E was short transferred at the top, thus reducing the "ironing out" effect on 7R1E. If one cannot afford an example of Scott 5, Position 7R1E, this provides an alternative; after all, having the balls of 7R1E is nearly as important as having the whole stamp.

Ex Wagshal and Merlin. Scott Retail as pair of Scott 8A and single Scott 7. (Image)

1100° ogbl Image1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Positions 6-7/16-17R1L, block of four, bottom stamps Mint N.H., top stamps lightly hinged, large margins to just in at bottom and top right, wonderful deep rich color, a remarkable early impression from Plate 1 Late

FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IV FROM PLATE ONE LATE, CONTAINING TWO SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS AT TOP. IN THE EARLY STATE OF PLATE ONE, THE TOP RIGHT POSITION 7R PRODUCED THE RARE TYPE I AND THE TOP LEFT POSITION 6R PRODUCED TYPE Ib. THIS BLOCK IS AN EARLY IMPRESSION FROM THE REWORKED PLATE AND SHOWS MANY OF THE ENGRAVING DETAILS THAT MAKE TYPES I AND Ib SO SIGNIFICANT.

This rare block from the top two rows of the right pane of Plate 1 Late contains Positions 6R and 7R, the same positions that produced Types Ib and I (respectively) on Plate 1 in its early state, before it was reworked and recut. This block shows one of the earliest and clearest impressions known from Plate 1 Late. Position 7R1L at top right has mostly complete plumes at bottom and the pronounced double transfer, details that disappeared as the plate wore from extensive use.

With 2009 P.S.E. certificate. Light position pencil notations on gum (Image)

1105   Image1c Blue, Ty. IV, Chicago Perf 12-1/2 (9 var). Position 49L1L, rich color, very lightly cancelled by Chicago circular datestamp, natural inclusion at left, negligible corner margin crease at top right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE FINER OF THE APPROXIMATELY 19 KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE ONE-CENT WITH CHICAGO PERFORATIONS -- OF THESE ONLY THREE SINGLES AND THE UNIQUE STRIP OF THREE ARE TYPE IV.

The origin of the Chicago perforation was revealed in an article published by Jerome S. Wagshal in the Chronicle 130 (May 1986). To briefly summarize Mr. Wagshal's revelations, the inventor of the machine used to create the Chicago Perf stamps was Dr. Elijah W. Hadley, a Chicago dentist. He probably constructed the machine in 1854. Over a two-year period, beginning in November 1854, Dr. Hadley's device was offered for sale to the Post Office Department thru R. K. Swift, a prominent Chicago banker and businessman. The distinctive 12-1/2 gauge Chicago Perf was applied to sheets of the 1c (Plates 1 Late and 2) and 3c 1851 Issue, the former being considerably rarer. According to the census of Chicago Perf items compiled by W. Wilson Hulme II (Chronicle 175, Aug. 1997), a total of 19 examples of the 1c Chicago Perf have been recorded, comprising 2 unused, 5 used on covers and 12 used off cover (including a strip of three). Of these only the unique strip of three and three singles are Type IV.

Ex Lake Shore and Hulme. With 1973 and 2005 P.F. certificates (Image)
