EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB AND EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT BLACK ON BLUE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL ENTIRE. ONLY THREE EXIST IN THIS SIZE.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue reports three mint entires in this size, as well as two in the much larger size 21, both of which are stained. This is one of the key items to a superb postal stationery or Officials collection.

712 og Image3c Blue on Blue Post Office Dept., Die PD5, Cut Square (UO11; UPSS PD50). Unused, 40 x 44mm, deep rich color

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT BLUE ON BLUE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE CUT SQUARE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue records six entires in four different sizes. The example offered here was sold in Shreves 1998 Wampler sale as an entire (size 25, knife 122, wmk. 2) with edge faults and was turned into this sound cut square shortly afterwards. We have never encountered this as a cut square, only as an entire. Collectors of cut squares may never have another opportunity to acquire this in cut square format.

Ex Wampler as an entire. With 2002 P.F. certificate as cut square. (Image)

716 og Image10c Dark Red on White, War Department Official, Die WD5, Full Corner (UO25; UPSS WD16). Unused, 51 x 99mm, comprising nearly the full right quarter of the entire, fresh color and clear embossing

EXTREMELY FINE. A SPECTACULAR AND RARE LARGE SIZED FULL CORNER OF THE 10-CENT DARK RED ON WHITE WAR DEPARTMENT REAY ISSUE.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue records just one mint entire of the 10c Dark Red on White, though experts we have consulted question the existence of a full entire. This is the largest corner recorded by Porter Venn and is unusual in its vertical dimension which captures the full height of the size 21 entire. Only 500 were issued.
